HillyDilly.com wrote:Grey Crow is a masterpiece full of sonic wizardy that can easily be called one of the years best. Grey Crow is Eligh's newest solo project album since 2003's Poltergeist. The cohesiveness and quality is evident from beginning to end on Grey Crow. Eligh's production skills are at an all time high and it shines brighter than the sun on Grey Crow. Eligh refers to himself as the "Grey Crow" that references the growth and wisdom gained from his struggles with drug addiction over the past few years. (Eligh is now 5 years clean). The struggles have morphed Eligh into a better musician and with this new found direction in life the music has also been given an upgrade. Grey Grow is not just a good underground hip-hop album but an album that deserves a listen from all types of music listeners. There is no denying the massive amount of skills on the raps and production on Grey Crow. Featured on Grey Crow is Inspired Flight, Brother Ali, The Grouch, K-Flay, Zumbi of Zion I, Scarub, Aesop Rock + many more. Make sure you support Eligh as this album has no major label backing. This album will succeed on the backs of people like us who love good music.

Really enjoying this track from the first play through, but seems like there's quite a few standouts... understatement. Really enjoying this, everyone should check it, IMO.
*EDIT*
Sat listening to music all night, listened to the complete bonus edition of this album, which runs at nearly 2 and a half hours and now I'm replaying it.... this album is great, great, great! -
Eligh - Stuck With You Featuring The Grouch
Eligh - Desire Featuring Inspired Flight
Eligh - Skitzo Featuring Ellay Khule and Basik
Really great of Eligh to post up these breakdowns and a good way of promoting the album, IMO.
One of the best of the year, don't sleep! -
Eligh - Whirlwind Featuring Pigeon John
Eligh - Wake Up Featuring Brother Ali & Lisa Ahlstrom
Guest features on this album are stupid good. -
Wake up is so unskippable!! I really like that track, like I said I will add this to the list!

Massive fan of the beat on that track :tu
Definitely a challenger for top 5 tracks on the album.
I think the Pigeon John and K-Flay/Grouch tracks are my favourites though...
