Though this is not a new album, it is new-ish. I finally got a chance to digest the entire project and though this is the fourth project of the "Culture Series", I feel it is one of the strongest entries for an album (mixtape, non-album) that I have heard in a long time.
This album download will do your earholes well. Much of the production is new with a few instrumentals borrowed from other underground MC's. As a whole, this is not just a "record a bunch of popular songs and have a DJ scream over it" mixtape. This is a concept album from start to finish and keeps a mellow, grown-man sound throughout. With a few guest appearances from Rhymesayers camp, I Self Devine presents a solid installment to keep fans waiting for the May release of his upcoming official album.
If you like more positive story-telling MC's with some street grit and sensible rhymes, then do yourself a favor and check this and the back discography. If you like other Rhymesayers work, then this fits nice into the collection, and if you are unfamiliar with RSE or its stable of artists, check the link above.
