Overall, Aceyalone’s third studio affair is largely uncompromised. The gifted emcee forges his own path, unfettered by expectations or aspirations of commercial success.

Across his debut solo album, the Los Angeles hip-hop underground legend reinforces that he’s content with being an outsider, even while he welcomes others to join his revolution.

We should consider ourselves fortunate that Aceyalone & producer Mumbles executed this ambitious undertaking that demonstrates hip-hop’s literary merit.
