Comment: having no idea what does it mean „back to school“ in this case. Maybe Kensaye provides a retrospective point of view because of having piled up lots of influences and added lots of layers of (old) hip-hop music, grime, soul, (nu) jazz and just mood music. More concretely, Kensaye`s grip used to grow weaker at times thus letting music to go beyond bombastic overstatements and the areas of gangsta rap and therefore outside the streets. Any track on this 10-track release involves features by various rappers-MCs and female vowel sounds who engage in to rap in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The mood is enjoyable and smoothly variable. Well done.
