Reviews & Discussion
Detroit example of how beautiful music can be made by a community of talented musicians. Noteworthy appearances by Craig Huckaby & Maurice Herd from Rotating Assembly, The, along with Allan Barnes from Blackbyrds, The. This music speaks much truth into my life solely through the personable lyrics. Try thinking of other local groups, such as Niko Marks & City Boy Players or Detroit Experiment, The, except there's more of an R&B soul hip hop without hype style going on. A release that has my enthusiasm & attention, Mr. Malik Alston.
