Aww yes…got this album on preview yesterday – and my often wavering and dwindling faith in hip-hop just received a huge boost. This album, a collaboration of 11 artists, organized by Damon Dash, getting together in the studio for 11 days, and making some pure music, is refreshing, organic, honest, and takes you back to a nostalgia vibe of the creative process, that I feel is lacking a lot in the music I hear today, especially in the hip hop arena. This album doesn’t blow you away, it carries you.

You have the following:

1. Mos Def
2. Raekwon
3. Q-Tip
4. ODB
5. RZA
6. Jim Jones
7. Noe
8. Pharoahe Monch
9. Billy Danze
10. The Black Keys
11. Nicole Wray

This album drops 11/27 …and it’s highly suggested you get it.
