“Sleep can tear off syllables at a cheetah’s pace like Aesop Rock or Busdriver, but even his fastest rhymes make sense.” - XLR8R

“As a founding member of the Pacific Northwest’s quintessential hip-hop crew, Oldominion, Sleep was always an unrelentingly austere MC. His solo albums are darkly introspective and personal.” - Williamette Week
"Sleep's Hesitation Wounds is an adventure.  His words are fast, but he holds you by the collar and pulls you with him as you join him on his musical journey.  On the excursion, you'll learn that while you and Sleep may not have the same experiences, the emotions you share are equal.  Simply put, if you cannot relate to this album, you need to stop reading this and go find your soul. 4.5 out of 5 STARS." - URB Magazine

"A 'must buy' record for all hip hop lovers" - ParisDJs.com
