After numerous successful collaborations between Azeem and Wide Hive artists DJ Zeph and Variable Unit, it was only a matter of time that this cohesive energy would emerge into a full album. The results equal a beautifully crafted release from Azeem with Variable Unit known as Mayhemystics.

Wide Hive Recording Artist Calvin Keys plays guitar on "Yes We Can" and "Under Surveillance," while guest vocalist Omega (formerly of Blackalicious) makes her Wide Hive debut.

All Music Guide
"This CD is among the more memorable alt-rap discs of 2004."

Splendid
"Spearhead collaborator Ismail Azeem delivers a lurid apocalyptic vision wrapped in downtempo beats, scratches and coolly orchestrated washes of sound."

Thick Online
"Azeem and VU create thematic groupings of Rebel Music leading a people Under Surveillance into Liberation."
