nocluemusic In a nutshell, Don’t Play It Straight is a resounding piece of avant-garde Acid Funk/hip-hop constructed from artists that have the capability to consume you with insight and trippingly captivating instrumentals. Favorite track: Sometimes Care Looks Like Leave Me The Fuck Alone (feat. billy woods).

kpmm The environment that The Lasso creates just pushes me to be a better person honestly. The bars are gritty and the sonics are FUCKING insane

I was sold after the second song but Moses Was A Magician made me buy it twice. Favorite track: Moses Was A Magician.

Gavin Hellyer Two very firm favourite artists of mine, and it's good to see The Lasso getting out and about making records with enormously fine collaborators. It completes a great year for E L U C I D as well, given that his mighty Armand Hammer partnership with billy woods has delivered one of the best albums of the year in "Shrines". Favorite track: Sometimes Care Looks Like Leave Me The Fuck Alone (feat. billy woods).

The Rap Music Plug Podcast Lasso matched ELUCID's mercurial level of creativity and created an album that is truly like none other

Production is wildly layered, and ELUCID is equally layered in his writing

There is a lot of energy on this record that will surely put you in a creative headspace Favorite track: Safehouse (feat. Fielded).
