Quotables:
“a veteran rapper whose beats and words effortlessly float over the music with clockwork precision… Immensely listenable and always thought provoking, Weapon of The Future is highly recommended.”
- Free Albums Galore, reviewing Beltaine’s Fire’s first album “The Weapon of the Future”. Jan 2008
“One of my favorite albums of all time”
- Takepowerback.net on “Living in the Shadow”, November 2006.
“Emcee Lynx is without a doubt one of the hottest rappers in the underground hip-hop scene today.
- Donegal Press, September 2006
“[Emcee Lynx] has released an album every year — and his lyrics have everything from hard-hitting political insight to songs…whose sound can inspire hope in even the most jaded music fans.”
- Golden Gate [X] Press, March 2006
“Since the release of his first album (Soundtrack for Insurrection Volume I) in early 2001, Emcee Lynx has gained international recognition in Hip-Hop’s Conscious underground as one of the most articulate and innovative of a rising tide of politically active artists - winning him grassroots distribution and a loyal fanbase from California to the Czech Republic. “
- imesh.com, August 2002
Hailing from the bay, Lynx isn’t just an emcee, he performs spoken word and produces music, but he is first and foremost a revolutionary. Heavily involved in the fight for social change, Lynx is probably one of the hardest working yet humble people you could meet.”
- San Francisco Art Magazine.com, February 2002
