that resulted in me buying the album on my way out of the Wiltern Theater & bumping it on the way home loving the end result.

I can't really remember what my original expectations were for the album but to me that's Nas' best record since at least Stillmatic (partly due to it being a different lane for him but a cohesive project due to it being on Junior Gong's aural turf & fitting the concept of the 'Distant Relatives' themes).
