Bro when that second hook kicks in with the mariachis it absolutely owns all of hip hop. Breaks my heart every time. Global peace to all real hip hop heads✊
Mos Def's music has always made me want be part of the Brooklyn culture he loves so dearly. It's truly a testament to how genuinely he puts heart into his creativity. Apart from that, I feel like this album stands out because it feels like a bit of a departure from the rest. Heartfelt sort of return-to-roots elements are subtly and nonchalantly layered throughout that give a bit of an intimate yet underground vibe to this album, which I absolutely love. What makes it more special is that it's not even on Spotify and in order for anyone to enjoy it to its fullest, without playing a RU-vid playlist, you gotta go out and buy the CD or find it's vinyl and let it play from start to finish while chillin in the night time. Much love to all!
