Talib Kweli & 9th Wonder, a Hip Hop powerhouse. It's not everyday we are treated to two of the most respected names in the rap game getting together and making a slamming album of purified Hip Hop. The socio / political emcee often paints picture of the world's struggles and stands strong with his fellow man trying to bring thoughts and enlightening to the masses that are listening. Joining the duo are a grip of some of the best rapper / poets that often don't get credit they deserve. In those ranks we are treated to Problem, Rapsody, Bad Lucc, Niko Is, Pharoah Monche, Planet Asia, Brother Ali and a gang of others. The production is also handled by 9th Wonder's Soul Council / Jamla family, not solely 9th Wonder, which adds a variety of soul filled joints that keeps things fresh as we move through the 13 tracks.
