Deep.

2. MEFDOC Says:

What’s with all the features?

3. Rizoh Says:

I don’t think it’s that excessive. These are mostly Roots members (Dice, Malik, etc) and there are some repeat guests (Kweli, Porn, Truck North).

4. esbee Says:

They really took a minimalist sound for this album..never saw why birthday girl got hate from some okpers anyway.

By the way Flaco gets his rap on man…I know you see it Riz…btw the shoot begins next week. Don’t even ask me man..one thing after the other..

5. Larson Says:

Hey, Riz, been watching the news? How come you haven’t posted about the latest on your boy Obama? Normally you’d be right up on this.

Obama is done.

9. Rizoh Says:

^he’s done because his pastor said things he didn’t agree with but had the courage to denounce?

10. DB'Ossi Says:

Hey Riz, can you post a download link for the first track? That shit is raw! I can’t stopp listening to it

the cover is supposed to represent how the separatist felt if the Union won the war and let the slaves go free…

12. AC Says:

That “Rising Down” song is awesome, but Mos Def and Styles P aren’t on it.

13. Rizoh Says:

^I’ve listened to it 25 times and I heard Mos and SP on it each time. ?uestlove says Mos and SP are on it. I suggest you take another listen, fam.

14. anthology918 Says:

oooo snaps can anyone say “best album of 2008″? i can! first kanye comes to okc, than gta 4 comes out, than buckshot and 9th comes out with a heater album, now this ?!……april 29th cant come any sooner =}

15. AC Says:

Nevermind damn Mos Def sounded like Black Thought the first time I listened to it. Or maybe I didn’t expect him to be that good, so I figured he was someone else. His verse was money.
