Reviews & Discussion
This album was so refreshing to me - finally an album that wasn't promoting shooting and violence, and had a nice feel to it. The jazz elements make the album what it is, but Guru does have a great skill that most rappers can't even check with. His colaborations with MC Solaar are great, and Donald Byrd is a nice touch too. A nice album which you should really have in your collection.
