I have no interest in rap or hip-hop,as you know, but nevertheless it's great to see a new entry in what is already shaping up to be a contender for Journal of the Year 2013! Personally I love your prose about the Invisible Man doing his run, and the way you describe him "vanishing further into the motion of the urban machine" is just genius. I wonder if at some point in his lonely existence he may think to look around and realise that there are other more invisible men in the city, even if they can be seen? People who live their innocuous, unremarkable and unremarked lives on the edges, in the shadows, never really seen, never really part of humanity. The forgotten, ignored ones? I'd love to see you explore that aspect of his being.
Unlike the others then, as I say, I won't be checking out the album, but as ever I come here for the writing and I have never once yet been disappointed, nor do I ever expect to be. Superb job.
