"True Links" is the debut EP by rapper Edgar Allen Floe. It contains nine tracks produced by 9th Wonder, Illmind, and others. Only one track has guest vocals: L.E.G.A.C.Y. and Median appear 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."

[ [http://www.okayplayer.com/reviews/old-reviews/edgar-allen-floe-200507144189/ ] ] 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."
