Billboard Magazine - "The raps are intelligent and accessible..."

Mind, Body & Soul - "These lyrical visionaries combine hip-hop beats...with thought provoking raps that take you from the bizarre to the caustic."

The Scene - "(Their cd) is also the catchiest tune I've heard in months - local, or national."

Jam Entertainment News - "(Their cd) isn't that decaffeinated instant stuff you get in a jar, but neither is it bitter or angry espresso. It's well brewed, tasty and invigorating, meant to be savored slowly."

Clue Magazine - "...this group definitely provided a lot of funk and a different aspect of what is going on musically in Miami manifesting in an enthusiastic response from the crowd."

Miami Herald - "...every now and then, an original voice comes along...a mixture of soul, rap, funk, jazz and the essential intangible appeal that has every critic scrambling to come up with another term for "crossover urban-pop fusion."

"...smooth, gold-soul raps simmered with jazzified funk and right-tight grooves"

City Search.com - 2001 Best of City Search Nominee for Best Local Music Act - "The thoughtful lyrics delivered by Square Egg frontman, Lee, are only one facet of what sets this band apart."

"Melodies ebb and flow at the tip of their dexterous fingers as (Lee) raps excitedly or softly croons in one of a number of original tunes."

"Most important, they obviously enjoy what they are doing, and that fervor is contagious."

New Times Broward Palm Beach - "...(The Square Egg gave) this observer the impression that some pretty good local music was lurking around -- "

Rag Magazine - "The Square Egg manages to get funky with r & b riffs, freely integrating different styles of the 1970s."

"The result of the band's inception in 1999 has been a smorgasbord of sounds unique to Miami."

Miami New Times - 2000 Best Of Miami Best New Rap Artist - "(Lee) is evolving into an original."

"With his new multiculti live outfit, The Square Egg, churning out the music behind him, he looks fully primed to head off in whatever unique direction he wants."

Miami New Times - 2002 Best Of Miami Best We Got The Funk Collective - "What's not to love about a man who can deliver a rap smoother than his pate, celebrating the virtues of womanhood while slinking low on the down beat in just the way your mama warned you about."

"All that jazz-funk-hip-hop-blues-soul spooned together promiscuous-like, feeling up your backside, lapping at your ears."

Rolling Out Magazine - "(Lee) is not trying to keep up with the current trend of bling bling and thugging. He unapologetically raises the bar of vocabulary and comprehension like a hip-hop Joe Clark. The songs themselves are about love and viewing the world from the perspective of a man who is living on all levels - mind, body and spirit lead."

El Nuevo Herald/ Miami Herald - "(Lee's) impeccable interpretations have the freshness of the improvisations of rap and hip hop, but with lyrics with a solid foundation and a jazzy groove that flows generously over his warm voice."
