Between E&J, Oxymoron, and LordSteppington, it's hard for me to give this album a real thorough listening, but I'm enjoying what I'm hearing.. Mainly because it's nice to have Prince back over some dirty beats.
Can't say this is my favorite Oh No production, but I am glad he had a chance to do a whole project for a quality emcee.. No tag teaming with Madlib or ALC. On initial impressions of the above listed current albums, I'd have to say both his Gangrene partner and his Soundclash rival both have better fully produced albums. I know Ev did one song for Step Bros, but it's just one.
PO and Oh have good natural chemistry in terms of a similar sonic aesthetic: stylish and sophisticated yet ugly and imperfect. But I can't help but feel a little disappointed by the final product.
Safari doesn't even sound like himself.. Kinduva Snoopish delivery, though a nice little verse. It is good to know he is working again after those reports of his poor health.
