Sean Price | Imperius Rex
Duck Down | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

According to Daryl McIntosh: “A solemn reminder that we’ve lost one of hip-hop’s bar-for-bar best lyricists, Imperious Rex, as an organic product, accomplishes what many posthumous albums invariably fall short of achieving: a credible addition to the artist’s catalog. Authentic with every skit and collaboration, Imperious Rex feels like what would have been Sean Price’s fourth LP and lands atop the list of best rap albums of 2017.”
