Here's a quick little review I typed up for the album...Peep:
1.Support (Intro) - One of the better beats on the album. I like this one because the beat totally fits the lyrics. Just some smooth laid back shit that makes you think. It makes you feel what Nexus is saying. A good introduction to the album...4/5
2.The One - This track was released on the "One Love" compilation way back. Everyone liked it so much, that we decided to put it on this album. The beat is some dope ass West Coast shit produced by JayMastaJay. I think this is the perfect opener for the album...4.5/5
3.Think U Can Feat. Sccit - This one is a banger. I love the beat. This track is more West Coast than any other track on the album. One verse by Nexus, and one verse by me (Sccit). Nexus rips the beat into shreds, and I rap one of my better verses...4/5
4.Unstoppable - The first single for the album. This was a bad choice for a first single, because it sounds very East Coast, and it caused the whole board to sleep on Nexus. I personally like the song. Very catchy, but not interesting enough. Nice beat, Nice concept, nice flow...3.5/5
5.Still Goin' Strong - A very old song. None-the-less, I like it a lot. The beat is East Coast, but it's a lot more Up-beat than "Unstoppable"...My only complaint would be the chorus is too monotone. Nexus raps the chorus, and it's hard to tell where the chorus is, and where the verses are because the beat stays the same for the chorus. Still a hot ass track...3.75/5
6.He Ain't - Another West Coast banger. This one is catchy. Nexus sounds a lot different on this one than the other tracks. This one actually takes time to grow on you. At first I wasn't feelin it too much, but than I started really liking it. Tight beat, tight lyrics, tight chorus, tight everything. I also added backround vocals and scratches to this one....4/5
7.Expectations - Ohhhweee!...No chorus, just straight out rhyming about how he feels...The longest verse on the album, and an amazing beat by JayMastaJay...This is on some laidback shit...I like this one a lot...4.5/5
8.The Time Has Come Feat. Bishop - Yes...A dope track with a dope beat, featuring WCC's Bishop who everyone loves. This one is basically explaining the whack state Hip Hop is in today. Dope verses by both Bishop and Nexus...It's a banger...4/5
9.What If - Before I touched this track up with sound effects and backround vocals, it was too monotone, boring, and repetitive...But now it's pretty cool...Nice song...3.5/5
10.I Can't Win - Honestly, this is one of my all time favorite songs! It's so damn dope, I love it. I have no complaints. Maybe it coulda' been longer, but who gives a fuck? Just keep this muthafucka on replay! If you haven't heard this, kill yourself...5/5
11.It's Nothin' - Nice beat, nice flow, good concept, tight track. Nexus's voice is a little too gruff on this one, but I like it...3.75/5
12.Cold Dark Night - The closing track is the title track. I like it. It puts you in the whole 'Cold Dark Night' mood...Very laid back...Just a track you'd listen too before you go to slep...No complaints...4.25/5
13.Again (*Bonus Track*) - Oh God...I love this...This is the track too bump in a system. Hard ass beat by Jay and a dope ass flow by Nexus. This wasn't meant for the album, but it was so dope that we had to put it on as a Bonus Track. The whole second verse is a diss to Rap Quake of WCC...He rips Quake not 1, but 2 new assholes...Lovin it...4.75/5
14.Make It Happen (*Bonus Track*) - Nice shit...The beat I have to say I'm not feeling...Too Technoish for my taste...But real nice concept, and a strong message sent across...If you want something, you gotta make it happen ya'll...Just for the message/concept of the song, this one gets a 3.5/5
Overall: I can honestly tell you this is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. This is just some straight up raw shit...I've been bumpin' it for 6 months straight, and still, I haven't gotten tired of it one bit...This album gets doper with every listen...Nexus stays very consistant throughout the whole album...For the simple fact that I've been bumpin this for 6 months, and liked it better with each listen, this one gets a 4.5/5 from me...It's a keeper no doubt...

The album sounds tizzzight, nicca. NIK, where can I buy it? I'd like to donate to tha cause
-
people arent s l e e p i n g, people dont care.
LmAO...well, peep the feedback in your other thread, and than can u honestly tell me people don't care?
-
I am download I cant Win right now considering you thought it was the best man. I will get some more of em too.
-
Man I peeped the song and sorry to say that if that track is your best on the album then I aint even going to bother getting the rest of it. The song was boring, same old beat, same old flow, same old everything. His voice aint even good IMO and hes trying to hard to rap fast. Cant even understand what he is saying in the most part. keep trying tho, you'll get there eventually.

naah...the reason u cant understand what he's saying is because he doesn't have a British accent, Mate...Trying to hard to rap fast? That doesnt make sense...he is rapping fast...LoL...Download the whole album or don't comment at all...PeACe

strange the way I can understand Dre, Em, Snoop, nate, Luda, Nas, Biggie, Pac, Daz, Kurupt etc etc etc. Didnt know they where british.
Looking back at what I said I realised it was a bit harsh. I am hoping the song will grow on me cos I will keep bumping it (or trying to) until I either like it or delete it. Another thing man, you gotta accept critism, your shit aint guna always appeal to everyone that has the decency of actually downloading it and giving it a few listens but you gotta encourage them to keep bumpin it and see if it actally does grow on it. Ok I might of said I don;t like the way he raps and shit buts thats just an opinion, to say I cant understand him cos he aint British well lets face it, its dumb.
I will download a few tracks off the album, the ones which you have rated highly. I will get back at you to tell yer what I think of them. Peace

Nexus, I've downloaded half of it, my computers pretty slow, but for real man your work is great, the "I can't win" track is great, shame it wasn't longer, but it's still amazin, also "Think u can" is nicely done. I could go on and on saying I like the tracks, they're all great so far. :)
I'll probably be poppin back to this website, anyway, good luck in the future Nexus.
