the realness
I bought this album when it came out and it is by far my favorite still. These guys are slept on, the emceeing is incredible, from prophetic tales of post-apocalyptic chaos to straight uplifting and inspiring poetry for the soul. Greater things is probably the most inspiring song I've heard since K.O.S. and you get a bonus track. Silence uses some crazy samples from Axelrod and Grover Washington to paint eerie backdrops to the lyrical phantasms floating between your ears. Suicide Prevention is just that for anyone disenfranchised by the commonality of recent hip-hop releases. It shows us the future of hip-hop production, while bridging the gap of classic lyric storytelling and self-evocation reminiscent of dudes like Nas. Stop reading cop it.
