Comment: Jelani, a hip-hop musician from the Big Apple has been a part of Notherground Music (the fine platform for a circle of DIY hip-hop artists). However, this is certainly of the the strongest albums within it. 12 tracks do demonstrate catchy rhyme settings and enthralling orchestrations (with psychedelic, acid-soaked synths here nad there) and danceable funky beats and blissed-out soul touches in the background. He is assisted by label mates 6th Sense, and Wildabeast, and Mike Maven used to feature in some tracks.
