Neferiu is pleased to present '12 Steps to a Deffer You', the long awaited solo debut from Ricca Razor Sharp, one of Calgary's most popular and entertaining M.C.s. What follows is a sample of what people have been saying about this fantastic album:
CALGARY SUN, Mike Bell, June 26/06 On Ricca Razor Sharp: "(For fun) You don't have to look much further than '12 Steps to a Deffer You,' (it) features rhymes, beats and an approach recalling acts such as the Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill."
On Mantrakid's Production: "expertly produced"
EXCLAIM, November 2006, Thomas Quinlan On Ricca Razor Sharp: "His flow is solid, with an early '90s influence, and is easy to understand... once Ricca has your attention, he doesn't let go."
On Mantrakid's Production: "The two have a natural chemistry that is evident throughout the album."
FFWD Magazine, June 25/06 On Ricca Razor Sharp: "On point with his prose and deft in his delivery, 12 Steps stands up to repeated listening... he's got
something to say and he's damn good at sayin' it."
On Mantrakid's Production: "The kid's really hit his stride on this release. (the beats) catch you off-guard and
leave you grinnin' with their imaginative change-ups and subtle trickery."
On the album: "Let us dispense with the tired "pretty good for Calgary" or "pretty good for Canada"
or even "pretty good for underground" bullshit. 12 Steps to a Deffer You is plain ol' pretty good."
