"'Cold Gettin' Dumb' remains one of the most exhilarating tracks from an era when hip-hop was inventing itself day by day. Mantronik's production was so ahead of its time, and when coupled with Just Ice the combination was pure fire. This song still to this day might be one of the hardest beats ever made in Hip Hop. 10 years after its release Redman tried to recreate the beat for his single 'It's Like That (My Big Brother) but the fact that Mantronik had programmed and sequenced 'Cold Gettin' Dumb' live you can hear the difference which makes the original beat unmatched."

"As the final release of his storied tenure on iconic New York rap label Fresh/Sleeping Bag Records, Just-Ice's Masterpiece brings the rapper full-circle with an album that lives up to its title. Having shocked the hip-hop world with the release of his landmark debut Back to the Old School in 1986, the Bronx-based rapper shot to fame with an aggressive, tough-talking style and high-profile co-signs from KRS-One, Chuck D and Kurtis Mantronik, among others. By 1990, Just-Ice was a veteran of the rap game, having survived clashes with the police and fellow rappers (Run-DMC), and he poured all of his experiences into Masterpiece. With production duties handled exclusively by the legendary Grandmaster Flash, Just-Ice crafts an album that brings his brash style and rugged street stories to life with flawless precision. Now, for the first time ever on CD, Just-Ice's Masterpiece is presented with a new, high-quality digital transfer from the original analog tapes, packaged in a digipak based on the original LP sleeve design."
