Elemental Zazen - Reviews
The Glass Should Be Full

"Clean as a surgical scalpel and just as sharp... The Glass Should Be Full is what a nervous system would sound like if you plugged it into an amp."
The Weekly Dig

"Zazen is also a top caliber lyricist, a rare treat in a genre where being thoughtful and insightful is often treated like a sinful vice instead of a saintly virtue."
Rap Reviews

"Fast, furious, raw, and reflective... Verbally nimble and righteously indignant, Zazen rhymes with a purpose"
The Boston Globe

"The Cambridge rapper might be the most gangsta motherfucker on the Boston hip-hop scene... his sophomore release is as hardcore an opus as Tupac’s Me Against the World"
The Boston Phoenix

"Tracks like "Disappear" display an existential flair from this skilled MC. The production, courtesy of a bunch of different producers, is hard and banging, matching Zazen's forceful flow"
Lost at Sea / Glaciers of Ice

"In these trying times, hip-hop needs cats like Elemental to help convey these messages of fear, struggle and pain from deep within the American Dream, as well as on a more global level. Pump this in your jeeps while you are plotting your next public disturbance, or peace rally."
