Another hip-hop album with some nice singing and melodies; “Herside Story” is the first time I really take notice though, has something a little special. Again, we have a million hip-hop stars, emcees, singers, whatever, taking part on a debut album. I never understand that, but whatever. “Summatime” is good too, but there you are: guest rappers/singers again, so I can't tell when it's this guy doing his own thing, and when it's one of his new buddies helping out. There's some really sweet choir singing in “The Parable of the Rich Man”, but overall I'd say this is a good album without blowing me away. Good for a debut, certainly. Interesting to see where he goes from here.
