Definitely a solid debut. Great production, for me that's the highlight of the album. I like the groove of the whole album. That's a lost art these days, making an album that has a consistent vibe all the way through. That is definitely appreciated. The lyrics are cool (although there's a few too many songs about women) but I was finally able to figure out what always hit me weird about dude, and this is just me, but he reminds me a lot of Kweli. That's not a bad thing it's just sometimes I almost feel like I'm listening to a Kweli album. His voice is just a little gruffer but not by much. It'll get some good play until Coldplay comes out next month and then that'll for sure dominate the rest of my music listening time through the end of the year.
