First let me say that I might be slightly biased as a longtime Little Brother fan, that aside, this album is a nice breath of fresh air. It's not exactly Hip Hop but more R&B mixed with a little Pop and alot of people are going to rag on Phonte for only singing on this album and not rapping but I'll say that it's actually a somewhat solid effort this time. I liked how Phonte knew how to fall back a bit to give way to more powerful vocals of Darien Brockinton and Carlitta Durand. It's classic nostalgia for those in their late 20's and up. I also liked how Phonte let a litte bit of "Percy Miracles" out in this album. Give this album a listen and for pete's sake.. go head' and do "The Carlton" nobody's looking!
