"WILK is the Muhammad Ali of hip hop and spoken word...floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee. looking into his eyes when he mans the machine gun of his tongue is like looking into a bunker, only to watch the tracers he dispatches as they light the sky around him, for all of us to see. Thanks for the light, WILK." -Michael Raysses, National Public Radio
