A beautiful, wistful record, brimming with Nujabes influence but with nature even more in the foreground.
Absolutely excellent album top to bottom. Ty flatmate for putting me on.
Solid lil project with two great emcees and some middle of the pack Alch beats.
Really great, experimental album from Danny with some hard-hitting emotional tracks too. He's really one of them ones.
Could've been so much better. Both E L U C I D and Billy give some great performances, and there's definitely some incredible standout tracks, like California Games, Peshawar, and Dogeared, but Al's production, while consistently solid, is getting tired and repetitive. He needs to switch SOMETHING up. He's still one of the GOATs though. Haram clears ofc.
Still highly recommend the album of course, it's still Al and Armand Hammer after all.
Another really solid Gunn project. GUS SMACKER is insanely good. This Brother Tom fella knows what he's doing.
He absolutely raps his ass off on this. Some generational verses and long-takes on here. Chapter 16, My 27th Birthday, Fairchild, and the title track are all seriously special.
My 3rd favourite album by the Roots, close to 2nd. Black Thought is truly a top 2 emcee of all time. That coupled with the incredible production makes this a must-listen to me. RIP J Dilla also. 2006 was seriously one of the best and worst years for hip hop ever.
14 years later and another classic. RIP to my favourite artist ever.
It's cool, got SOME of my favourite songs of his on here, like Marina Del Rey and Bergamot, but it's lacking something fr
My favourite from Zelooperz so far. He's polished his sound and, while it's not perfect, there are mostly gems on here.
More short hits of Tony and MIKE's collaborative power, but not as potent as the first Pinball imo.
Unc still got it. My 2nd favourite project of his, behind Brick Body Kids Still Daydream, and much like that record, this one is personal, beautiful, and witty all at once.
