 Brother Ali is one of the best emcees out there today_ Just saw him in Hollywood at the Henry Fonda Theater on the 22nd with atmosphere, the show was ridiculous_ ali slug and a few others freestyled at the end and although I already held him in high esteem he even surprised me. Shadows is impressive to say the least, ANT's beats are insane on this album and I think that he meshes at least as good w ali than slug_ if you're an atmos fan then you'll love this album.

Comin' from my home town, I was hopin' ali would bring some flavor to the rap genre, and he did. Definately a breath of fresh air, and an escape from commercial rap like the Diplomats, which aren't even laughable. Ali, a white-albino, raps fluently over tracks produced by Ant, and his lyrics are actually meaningful. "Depending on the day/ And depending on what I ate/ I'm anywhere from 20 to 35 pounds overweight/" This does get a little annoying after a while, as he preaches in nearl every track, but it's good stuff. Ant produces some of the tightest beats availible right now to give this album the extra edge. Definatley recomended to buy.
