Such youthful cries of liberation and power with the infusion of hip-hop, distortions and just plain noise, make for a refreshing, pulse-quickening album. Supported by a serious passion for good beats and (not so) threatening themes, "Bitch better have my money," this album spells instant fun.

CityStep is not (gasp!) the passion that drives my life. It is only the cry of my inner dancer, begging to get her moment in the spotlight...
...here to seal the deal. "How often will we see you?" one of the CEOs asks. "We'll see you at the public offering," Chin says, implying that he doesn't plan to help out much. He's just kidding. "Look, you can tell I have a passion for this. I'm the Internet guy," he says. "My style's very active. That's because I love it. I'm a strong backup for you."
