True Links is the debut EP by rapper and Justus League member Edgar Allen Floe. It contains nine tracks produced by 9th Wonder, Illmind and Khrysis amongst others. It's only vocal guest appearances are provided by L.E.G.A.C.Y. and Median on "The Great Adventure." DJ Ethx considers this to be a reason why True Links is monotonous stating, "[d]epending on your patience or perspective, Mr. Floe's True Links is either a decent, and promising, debut for an artist in his career's infancy or a fairly monotonous listen; one that could have been aided by a bit of versatility in cadence and tone, or perhaps supplemented by more guest vocalists."[1] Similarly, Miles Duncan of Okayplayer considers the EP to have repetitive and monotonous rapping, but also strong production and personal lyrics.[2] Starrene Rhett of AllHipHop.com describes True Links as a "dope listening experience[...] [e]compassing a jazzy sound reminiscent of east coast Hip-Hop circa the early to mid 90's."[3]
