Nefertiti isn’t the greatest of female MC’s but the album features some great names: Diamond D produced 2 tracks, DJ Pooh did 6 cuts and Guru produced and features on 'No Nonsense' (scratches by DJ Premier!), an up-tempo funk track where Los Angeles and New York connect.

Besides coolness there’s stress. Besides the bragging there’s uncertainty. What’s great about this record is the duality, the schizophrenic mood that mellows through.

Production wise, this album is top class, not very surprising if you know that Nu-Sounds is affiliated with Jazzy Jay, executive producer of the album and one of the illest beat technicians of the late 80’s.

'The First Event' is a good effort, with music that is made with a heart-felt passion, showin numerous spurs of talent that still has to be exploited to the fullest. We suggest 'keep movin, you're gonna make it someday'.
