- "overreaching is nothing to be ashamed of: even in its weirdest, trippiest moments, their full-length debut, AGrowculture, partakes of the True Spirit of Hip-Hop--it's a joyous creative exploration that thumbs its nose at the genre's self-appointed gatekeepers."- Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader,
- "Ladies and gentlemen, there's finally a reason for you to take that copy of The Low End Theory out of your CD player. The golden era of hip hop may be long gone, but the Giants are truly the next big thing." -Spencer Lokken, Chicago Innerview magazine
