Here's a review from Illmuzik.com
"FOR ALL YOU SLOW MOTHERFUCKERS
IMA BREAK IT DOWN ILLER"
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMPILATION AND AN ALBUM is that an album is supposed to be a cohesive piece of work. There may be some outside influence and input, but for the most part it's a book with one author. A compilation is normally a collection of ideas from different sources formulated to create a single work; like a magazine and its contributors who may not share the same opinions, but they share the same interest. Nowadays your typical album has 10+ producers and more features than two movie theaters directly across the street
from each other. As a result, the term "something for everyone" has been used a little loosely in Hip-Hop. A universal cop out for a confused artist, an all over the place album or both.
Philly native DJ Surv has put together some of the cities finest talent on "DJ Surv Presents The Mic: The Mixtape Vol. 1". The result is an ill representation of up and coming Philadelphia talent and a well crafted compilation which has generated a strong following in the Philadelphia area.
