by Black SpadeWhile this is not an old release, I hadn't listened to it for some time. I find it holds up even better than I remember - it's a very strong album.
Spade produces all of his own songs on this, and he appears to have been heavily influenced by the late great Dilla. He shouts out a whole pile of inspirations on 'the genius in you', but it's that Dilla-esque neo-soul that fuels this entire project.
Spade is a versatile lyricist, and is not afraid of singing his own hooks. The 18 tracks on this album deserved a lot more attention when this dropped, and I'm patiently waiting for a follow-up project.
