 Notes  
     Even with Lauryn Hill taking an extended sabbatical, no one has stepped up
     in her absence to carry the hip-hop/songbird flame. That was, until Mystic.
     With her debut, Cuts for Luck and Scars for Freedom, Mystic seamlessly
     bridges the gap between soulful harmonizing and introspective lyricism; and
     no one since Hill bridged this gap so effectively.
     "Cuts for Life" is a soulful blend of spoken word poetry and introspective
     lyricism. Mystic effortlessly manages to implement her vocal and lyrical
     chops on the sublime "Neptune's Jewels" and the A-plus-produced, breakout
     single "The Life." Unlike other songbirds, Mystic rarely gets boxed in, or
     fixated on one style, as she ably floats between repping the West Coast's
     virtues with fellow Cali up-and-comer Planet Asia on "W" and questioning
     hip-hop's image-conscious nature with "The Gotta's."
     Mystic's voice contains a natural duality; as it can be gentle ("Forever
     and a Day") and pessimistic ("You Say I Say") at any given moment.
     Similarly, her vocals unfold with an emotional warmth that only a woman can
     provide, as it conveys a deep, motherly like understanding, offering that
     tender shoulder to cry on ("Fallen Angels"), but at the same time demanding
     respect for herself and her fellow sistas ("Girlfriend Sistagirl"). While
     the extremely vivid "Fatherless Child" is a sympathetic and scolding
     account of her father's losing battle with drug addiction.
     While Foxy Brown and Lil Kim push the envelope with their uninhibited brand
     of punany power, Mystic's socially relevant and personally revealing topic
     matter is just as uninhibited. Yet, while Mystic features the same
     voluptuous package (check the artwork for verification) as the
     aforementioned, instead of augmenting her breast size, Mystic's artsy Cuts
     for Luck and Scars for Freedom augments the mind -- ladies first indeed!!
