Just Chill indeed........ thats what this albums all about. Heard about it years ago but never got round to tracking it down, so glad it popped up on BC.
Class mix of songs on this soundtrack from the RZA. And always good to see the black keys stepping in on some hip hop. Go check their Blakroc album for more of the same goodness.
Beats at that nice pace of 83-88 bpm, for the not too fast- not too slow head nodding. Sprinkled with some fine lyrics and samples, makes for a class album.
This tracks proof hunting for quality hip hop is still possible. The label churns out massive quantities of goodness but this albums a highlight and a great soundscape when leaving work late and annoyed with the world.
Great soul backdrop. Nice chilled beat. But mainly the way oddisee drops "you know". And the line. "I'm still about fresh, but not my tennis shoes, more bout my fruit and veg".
