Backbreakanomics

an incredible piece of work by the duo. it just continues to keep getting better. after their first joint “Raw Material” they hit you with the underground “sound methods” and the earplug “Blue Collar Sessions”, and this, backbreakanomics is nothing more but a continuation and elevation of the gritty beats and socially & spiritually conscious and clever lyrics with lovely delivery from manCHILD. if you get no other hip hop release this year (besides our own stu dent ;), get this one. check out mars ill’s website as well to catch up on their old stuffs.

sounding less pretensious than d’angelo and less of a "girl" than maxwell, this is hip hop influenced soul at its best. you heard this cat on slum village’s “tainted”, and in fact the album has the vibe of that song. Grown man chillout music. love it.
