East Bay Express: “The Wolf Pack”
“The album sounds "crazy" considering the current conversation taking place in hip-hop culture, especially what's expected from the Bay Area or the West Coast. As opposed to the frenetic up-tempos typified by the "Hyphy" style associated with Oakland, the beats are methodical and hypnotic with almost contagious understatements.
The lyrics are mature and contemplative, telling of lives that have been touched by hardships finally overcome. Mani Draper attributes the forming of Grand Nationxl to Allen's leadership.”
“It's the combination of all of these elements that caught the eye of the Grammy Nominating Committee. Nominations are determined by voting members through the first-round ballot or through either the Nominations Review Committee or Craft Nominating Committee processes. Just to be considered for a nomination with a debut album speaks to the immediate impact Twice On Sundays (Season 1) has already made.”
