I dl'ed it when it came out, and for whatever reason didn't get as deep into it, but really listening to it, if this shit is where he is heading, i'll buy 10 of his next album...
The beats are on point, his flow is just dumb, dope features, establishes a vibe, never preachy, just ill all the way through...
Hard Times is my JOINT...
Are there any other albums with production like this, murky bluesy samples and all...album sounds like its in line with some mid- late 90's indie/underground stuff, but made in 2011-12 with a modern twist...If anyone has any suggestions on albums in the same vein, i'd appreciate it...

i agree with those above, for sure
the reason this, and actually those above, stand out so much is that instead of trying to sound like preemo or pete rock the beats are so much more modern...i think we may be in the beginning stages of a new "golden age", maybe not on the levels of those past, but this generation will leave a mark, and is already beginning to kill shit

I had it in my top 5 for Ash's consistency on the mic alone. The production was flawless and In The Kitchen was such a dope beat, incredibly underrated.
