Outstanding Chicago sounds from capital D and Tone B, sweet deep beats, galactic beats, transmissions from far outer space. Lyrical flexibility and depth that continues to amaze, and inform: without a doubt the most well read lyrics in sound today, any side of the Atlantic or Pacific, and outward to say within range of the next galaxy. Flow? Flow! Flow like you don't know. (Check the time: "remember when we bought the lac? and were the only blacks living on the whole block?" to tribe's I left my wallet in el segundo. Umm umm, a smidgeon. Umm, umm, a tidbit. Insane.)

Production quality is outstanding.

Refreshing to hear positivity, active building for a future we can all inhabit without losing sight of present realities. Future thinking.

The sad thing is listening to something else after the record finishes.

Why no madlib + all natural == mad, naturally??

I picked this up here on Amazon a week or so ago and haven't been able to put it down since. At the same time, I also picked up a bunch of albums from the early to mid 2000's: Blue Scholars, Iomos Marad, Commonmarket, other All Natural albums, etc. This LP stands out above the rest. Productions shines above lyrics, but just barely. Tone B and Cap D can flow for sure, but I find that their vocal quality doesn't stand out as much as some other MC's ... I've loved Dug Infinite since I first heard One Day It'll All Make Sense. El Da Sensei rips it on "Keep it Movin'" but don't blink or you'll miss his verse. I'm going to come back and do an in depth review later, but if you're reading this review, just buy the album. You'll be glad you did. Also, I can't believe this only has one review (and from 3 years ago at that!!!)
