Entertainment Weekly wrote that "Dirty Harriet's production dream team ... takes a head-spinning tour through rap regionalism, from Southern booty bumps to East Coast Wu-Tangy coffin chillers."^[7] Exclaim! thought that the "gritty soundscapes are a potent backdrop to Digga's authoritative sandpaper-rough voice."^[10] The Washington Post wrote that "Digga is a punch-line MC who loves to draw out the final jab until it burns like a schoolyard taunt."^[11]
