“His production has a classic, boom-bap vibe to it, and he keeps things fairly straight-forward most of the time, but it’s of a very high standard I have to say. He manages to keep things sounding fresh across 21 songs, which isn’t easy..”

“'Animated Dreams' brought me back to 'The Waking Life', they'd of been lucky had this been a part of their soundtrack. So hot, that was an awesome first listen, highly impressive.”

“quirky underground beats (provided by Timbuktu, Savilion, Aries and others) are intricate and creative, and Selfhelp keeps things interesting by flipping his styles”
Thomas Quinlan - Exclaim! Magazine -Self Help "Old Friends" Review

“Authentik sounds great - it features bubbly xylophone mixed with old-timey horns and some bumpin' drums provide the backdrop for the trio to rundown their hard-earned hip hop history.”
Naedoo - Hero Hill.com

“The Aries-produced beat for Find Out mixes electronic bleeps with ominous backing sounds and an ominous & addictive chorus. I was intrigued by the quality of the song as well as the visuals”
Naedoo - Hero Hill
