Note: Solo MCs Mr. Lif (mesmerizing, monotone, alien flow; captivatingly creative) and Akrobatik (zealously observant, sometimes too preachy) unite for this project
Lyrics: American political and social criticism, educating and empowering Black America
Production: Retro-minded while pushing forward – spare, synth-fueled bangers; old school record scratching gets an electronic update; head-nodding, golden age grooves
Heavy Rotation tracks: “Memorial Day“; “Black Dialogue“; “Party Hard” featuring Guru & Camutao; “Career Finders” featuring Humpty Hump (aka Shock G)
Medium Rotation tracks: “Let’s Move“; “What Have We Got to Lose?!?“; “Blo“; “5 O’Clock” featuring Phonte of Little Brother
Look for: The anti-Iraq War anthem “Memorial Day“
Recommended: To anyone that likes thought-provoking, critical-minded hip hop with easily accessible but inventive production.
Grade: A- (Top 20 Albums of 2005 candidate)
