"Hip Hop ain't as dead as it looks, nah, diversions to cover up the lies..." POWERFUL!
This is music of magic right here. Talib Kweli and Styles P drop their joint album The Seven tomorrow, along with King Kendrick, and they're not messing around with this new drop ahead of it. They rope in Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and NICK IS for Nine Point Five which has all the warmth filled in it and the sophistication of each emcee on the mic is unf!kwittable. The whole "ska jumpisa" attitude that these guys are oozing on this classic sounding track is immaculate.
