Portland resident Santotzin's sophomore album[The Gemini Collection], two years in the making. Santo brings a complimentary mixture of content: street, political, pain, good times, but most importantly, tight rhymes. Features an A-list of Portland's underground Hip-Hop community. Guest vocals from Sleep and Snafu of Oldominion, Prologic of Battleship, Manic D, Akword, and more. Production by Oldominion's Smoke, Prawgress, Guzu, Manic D and Mystro of Battleship. If you've been looking for solid puro (pure) Hip-Hop out of the North West, look no further. Aaron 'DJ Kez' Marquez

Not only does Santotzin's talented new album virtually surpass every underground release I've heard over the last two years. But It does so swimming with socially concise and prophetic insight... Lyrically and poetically painting one picture after another as if his pen were a brush and his beats were his canvas. If you haven't checked him out by now, I strongly suggest you do so quickly. Why? Because at the rate he's moving, he's not here to stay! Chico Runan
The Portland Mercury
"Santotzin's got a chorus that goes, "Get the fuck up/Support local hip-hop," plus it's his birthday tonight, so give him a pound and a present once he finishes his set--that is, if he's still able to talk after the twisters he spits over refreshingly playful, surprisingly-not-seasonally-affected beats..."
