Reception[edit]

MCs Can Kiss received positive reviews describing it as "an old school soundclash of heavy beats and sharp rhymes"[9] that "shows off the French-American's ballsy schtick to full effect."[10] BBC labeled it as "tremendous",[11] while Gigwise went on to say that the single was "a razor-sharp lyrical assault with enough bombast to fuel the war in Afghanistan."[12]
