If you know me, you know I don’t listen to much rap or hip-hop. Blame it on my rocker upbringing, but it takes something special to pull my attention to such genres, to make me breathe and stop. This album has that something special. It’s such a vivrant thing. And if you’re looking for the opinion of someone much more into hip-hop than myself, DWayne agrees. Hell, even pitchfork agrees.
