In a general sense what starts out as a mild-tempered, yet eloquently delivered boom-bap introduction to a group of misfits, quickly blends into a natural back and forth lyrical display of personalities.

Though there’s not much to say about the album concept and build as a whole, with tracks like “Exit 9 Interlude”, “Martha”, “Boy Would You” and “Risky”, you learn by the end of the project that that’s seems to be the whole point. Nothing makes sense, and the album doesn’t flow with any type of controlled coherence, but the intense lyrical versatility displayed on each track from all members carries the project full steam ahead. Production is also on the mark for what’s being presented. Each beat sounds as if it were made to match the lyrics instead of the other way around which is an interesting task to accomplish. But even that doesn’t seem to be the focus here. The focus seems to be bars for this project.

MPGDPG album Drock The Felon and newcomer PDK shine bright in that aspect, playing cat and mouse as the albums Ying and Yang. Where PDK leaves his serious ninja-like cadence, Felon swoops in with a dancing rat and dangles it around with so much vibrancy that though the whole maneuver initially feels silly and overwhelming, it makes so much sense you automatically salivate at the idea of a joint project *cough*.

Overall, Zero Percent isn’t a project I would listen to looking for some sort of creative feat or expansive storytelling. What it IS, however, is an extremely impressive showcase of talent and ability from MPG as a unit. It's a reminder that everything and everyone doesn’t have to sound the same to get a creative point across. It’s a savory piece of hip hop history with a collective/group that though small, hasn’t died yet and reinstates the musical purpose of brotherhood, unity, alliance, and diversity.
