Pimpin' Ain't Easy review - NYpolean - "The Warm Up" - 4/10 Added 10 August, 2008Nypoleon has potential; with more vocal training and experience, we may have what it takes to be a great artist.

Refreshing review - Kendra Ross - "New Voice" - 8/10 Added 30 July, 2007''I didn't realize how thirsty I was until I had something to drink.''
