Warriors Come Out and Grate
Briefly

"It takes about an hour, an hour and a half, depending upon the train service, to get from the top of the Bronx to Coney Island, but not if every cop in the city might be alerted and blockading...thousands against each other."
"Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis tap into that colorful New York legacy with Warriors, a musical-theater concept album... a classic yarn about underprivileged New Yorkers weathering an arduous power struggle."
"The album pines for the lost spirit of the burned-out, provincial, pre-gentrification city, carving out a slice of the city's class structure and observing the layers that make the cake."
"Miranda's gifts encompass a love of hip-hop and a knack for intricate plotlines into percussive rhymes and dense stacks of melody... unmistakable in this concept album."
