I know it came out in January, but I can't get enough of this album. The beats are a bit more relaxed and soulful than Monkey Barz, but Ruck delivers big time. Dude's flippin' shit crazy, making new words ('respecognize'), and bringing the soul choir to boot. Some production by 9th Wonder, and a lot by dude's I've never heard of (but have probably heard) before but probably should have.
My buddy maintains that it's not as gritty or street as Monkey Barz, but I only really feel that in terms of the beats, and even then, it's shakey. Jesus Price definitely doesn't sound like Monkey Barz in terms of sonic quality, but shit, doesn't everyone always say they like artists to progress? P's still the brokest rapper you know (and now he's lettin you know he slangin that crack rock after the show). Guest appearances by Rock (fuck yea), Buckshot, Steele, Sadat X (!), Skyzoo, and a bunch more.
Basically, there's not a bad track on the record, and it's full of those bomb Sean P stanzas. So fuckin' get it already.
