"Highs and Lows might be one of the best albums of 2006. There haven't been many CDs this year that I have played repeatedly and played often. In fact, I can count them on my hand. However, there is something about Highs and Lows that is making this stand out a little further. Oregon MC Marv Ellis and Cosmos Corbin's Highs and Lows proves that psychedelic hip-hop can be done. Its almost like a drug trip of sorts and the best legal high you can get right now."

"Marv Ellis and Cosmos are backing their cerebral rhymes with some of the best beats to grace these ears in months. It's pen and paper hip hop, surviving while the ego battles the Id. Their partnership with ragingfamily.com offers their fruits, an honest surprise in the quality of a downloadable MP3 album. A touch of RJD2 with the feeling that I always overestimated in Mos Def. The way Cosmos blends the organic/ ethnic with the future is worth the time. When an album not only creates conversation, but entertainment, you have to give it it's due."
