Many will have been convinced of her quality long before now, but HIS HAPPINESS SHALL COME FIRST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SUFFERING proves yet again that we are talking about an artist of the very highest pedigree.

Backxwash aren't the easiest proposition. This is extreme music heavy in both sound and content. But this is also part of the strength of the album.

Backxwash makes art, the concept is amazing the production is amazing everything is just amazing

Favorite Tracks:
VIBANDA
NYAMA
ZIGOLO (but only the Backxwash verse)
JUJU
At this point, I'm just sucking these albums off, but can't you blame me? Backxwash makes every album like it's her last and these sample choices are just as wild as the last album I heard from her. Seriously, Mozart's Requiem is sampled on here. Not since Lila's newest album have I been caught off guard by a sample choice THIS much
