Clan Destined "ABBRACADAMN" reviewed by FromTheJump.com:
Clan Destined - ABBRACADAMN!! -by Louise
Abbracadamn is poetry from the very introduction. Clan Destined have created a smooth, listenable sound, with a definite Old Skool recipe. Several tracks recall the styles of contemporaries, ranging from Dilated Peoples in 'Understand' (4), through to Malik Yusef in 'The Language' (13), via John Forte (6), Outkast (9) and Slum V (11). There's even a bit of a West Coast feel to 'Yo Likfe' (8)! This is a CD that caters to every mood, with chillout tracks ('Freeze', 'Set Your Soul Free',), humorous tracks ('The Monkey'), thought-provoking tracks ('Get Your Mind Right'), and tracks to cruise to ('Bigger Fish'). The lyrics have an openness and honesty about them, with that same realness that is the trademark of the Hip Hop we used to know and love. Take 'Get Your Mind Right' and 'Never Always' for example; full of deep discussion, life lessons and social comment. These guys rap from the heart, not the wallet. And this is especially refreshing considering the group hail from ATL, the hub of the Crunk Movement. Clan D have successfully looked outside of the box and produced an album with an appreciation for the genre as an art form that is rarely to be found these days.
Is Hip Hop dead? Hell no. (4 bars out of 5)

AllHipHop.com says "...you are sure to become almost instant fans. Their skills are plastered all over the CD, and add an interesting touch that is sure to make you play tracks like "The Language" over and over again."-Adam Thomas
GroundLiftMag.com says "Clan Destined are like the Batman Utility Belt or Swiss Army knife of hip hop – in as much as they’re multi-functional in a compact package. The duo, the cleverly named DJ AmbiDextrous aka AmDex & DT (who hail from Atlanta & Hickory, North Carolina respectively) collaborate in equal measure as MCs, DJs, producers & musicians. Harsher critics might say, ‘it’s not a good thing to try and be all things to all people’. I’d say that multi-tasking is no mean feat, particularly when it’s done adroitly, as these guys show they’re capable of." -Vie Marshall
RawRoots.com says "The Atlanta spawned duo of AmDex and DT that are Clan Destined come with a surprising authority on their debut album that stylistically touches an ATLien-era Outkast while also owing a great deal to the Labcabincalifornia-era flows and smooth Hip-Hop of The Pharcyde. With equal sharing of turntable, production and microphone duties Clan Destined have created an album that channels their personalities in equal measure while also allowing space for space for their VJC crew to shine on the Hieroglyphics-style posse cut, 'We Stay.' Swerving away from pimpalicious gangsterisms Clan Destined's soulful maturity allows their debut to shine through the music and the lyrics such as on the funkafied 'Set Your Soul Free.' As the 15 tracks progess Clan Destined effortlessly draw you into their mellow styles and will have feet tapping and heads bobbing before you realise that you have be caught up in their addicitive web. Genuinely accomplished, 'Abbracadamn!!!' is a testament to Clan Destined's chemistry, showing a true promise that is sure to have fans fiending for more."
DJ Slim ('preciate it mayne)
AccessHipHop.com says "AmDex and DT are two multi-talented mc/producers/deejays that make up the Atlanta based Clan Destined. Intellectual lyrics and some very experimental production, including a song in which they are scratching thier own vocals as they trade verses. Sometimes you need to be inspired by the old school to create something new...and Abbracadamn does just that." (available for purchase here)
