anyone got the production credits

its their first album produced entirely by themselves. its mixed by duro (roc/dj clue affilate). And its very good and re-freshing. One of my fav albums this year. Alots of hiphop samples.

I picked it up today, haven't given it a listen yet though.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Well I gave it a listen. It's really good, but it's different from the rest of their albums. I'm dissapointed that there was no instrumental tracks like on their last few and the beats weren't as great as they could have been.

Overall 4/5.
