The first album was a revelation, a perfect storm of two brilliant, young, hungry artists looking to create their own lane(s) the independent way.

yasiin has been on another planet for a while now (a journey I fully support, by the way, it's just one that hasn't resulted in any music I've been interested in for a long long time now), and Kweli long ago ran out of interesting shit to say (even if he still says that uninteresting shit well, lol).

So I'm not expecting too much from this, especially considering the abject weirdness of the first two releases. (This is all from my perspective, of course .. don't want to rain on anyone's parade here).
