Jonny Lyrks)” does: laying painful realities, both historical and present-day, over an otherwise positive musical track and sing-a-long melody.” Rick Jamm, Jamsphere, said in a review of “Faces Got No Race”: “This is a very solid hip hop album, and the amount of good songs on it is enough to equal the number of good songs on any 2 albums from most of the other indie rappers out there today, while Young Slay’s lyrics send powerful messages and are undoubtedly among the best around.
