“HANDS DOWN. GOTTA GIVE IT TO THIS MAN. EVERY COMMENT WITH 5 STARS IS WELL RESPECTED. HE DESERVES IT. CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, NEVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE. SEEMS TO BE SOME RAW ARTISTS POPPIN UP OUT OF NOWHERE. ANOTHER ONE TO CHECK OUT IS SPIRIT OF TRUTH. CAME OUT OF NOWHERE TOO. I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE FROM THESE KINDS OF ARTIST. HIP HOP LIVES!”
Allday - UGHH.com Comments Regarding "The Meridian Gem"

“Nothing lack luster about this album. It's a shame that people sleep on the best albums released and it's a shame that UGHH hasn't sold out of this yet. I highly recommend this album. The features are perfect for the songs that have them and the production style is on a different plane. I can't think of many other albums out now or in the past few years that equate to this masterpiece. No questions asked. Cop it!!”

“nice to see you guys got this album up! I got it directly from the bandcamp page but man this album is real hip-hop music at its best, needs more recognition. the lyrics, the beats, the overall feel, the interludes, the artwork, the packaging it came in, it shows these dudes from Noble Scity are very professional in everything they do.”

Aykay - Hip Hop Canada

“This 2010’s decade has seen the debut of MCs with massive talent and an understanding directed toward the liberation and enlightenment of the Original (Black, Brown, Yellow) diaspora and the poor/Blue Collar masses. Zagnif Nori has debuted with these dynamic details of character that make Hip Hop music a score of salvation.”
