    The dynamic duo are back to put microphone criminals in their place. Play Dough and Blake Knight, fresh off the success of An Octave Above The Original, and world tours with Earthsuit, PAX, and many more, give us some more tasty treats. The Take Two title plays off the doctor's advice to getting healthy. Does the music of the Ill make you feel better in the morning? I'd have to say it does. Stretching themselves musically, the Ill get into live instrumentation blended with dirty underground beats. It's not often you have all crew members getting into the production side of the mix. P. Doughy and the Cannonball work together well in providing some serious sound-bombing. Also those all high and mighty might need to check themselves when Mr. Chris T. Ian cranks through the speakers. Better repent. Play Dough seems to have found his style as an emcee, and it's nice to know what to expect when an emcee grabs the mic. B.K. is improving on the mic and behind the boards. The included lyrics let you perform like your favorite Ill Harmonic! Nice touch. Take Two is a nice addition to my ever increasing library. Some of you cats are about to get thrown out.
