This is an inspirational piece of Hip Hop music which manages to portray one of it's most common subjects of everyday struggle of ghetto life in a way that is fresh, bringing beauty to what is normally seen as harsh reality of life. On "Ashes" Will Vill lays down his stories of personal struggle and perseverance over an excellent Lord Finesse production.

Both MC and producer's skill sets compliment each other very well on Ashes to convey stories of the ghetto, Will Vill projects heartfelt memories of the past with honesty and vivid lyrics while Lord Finesse provides a sound as the re-definition of Soul-based Hip Hop production in his high level of skill and execution on the boards.
