His soulful spirit and considerable technique make this effort worthwhile -- not remarkable, but certainly engaging.
His best album for sure. Kool Moe Dee's biggest issue in the past was the production is so boring that it hurts his actual rapping. On this album that's not an issue anymore, and I can enjoy him way more.
