One of the better albums of this year, by quite some way.

Thoughts on this? What where your favourite tracks?

How I Got Over as a single, leaked last year and has been present on a playlist. It's possibly one of my favourite singles of the past year or so... but there are plenty of other great tracks on the album too.

    I love this album. I wasn't very familiar with The Roots before this album, I knew they were praised. My favorite track is Walk Alone. Radio Daze, Now Or Never, The Fire are also great. Is P.O.R.N. signed to any label? I think he drops some dope verses on The Roots' albums.

    dope album. you should def start checking The Roots whole catalog.

    i dont know whats good with P.O.R.N. thats the other thing i find with their albums, a lot of them have features and dope verses from rappers I'm not familiar with. The Roots crew is always puttin me up on someone

    I did, I like their stuff from Illadelph Halflife and forward, they just get better and better.

    I wouldn't mind listening to a P.O.R.N. album, that guy is good. I would like to hear more from Malik B too

    I think this album definitely has nod over Distant Relatives.... but that's just me... I saw Distant Relatives performed live, which was dope and I can definitely appreciate the quality of the album, but it doesn't sit as right with me as this one.
