^ Good album for sure. A few really good songs on the first listen through, but its hard to pick favorites so far.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Most Tribe albums don't have tracks that jump out at me at first, but years later something clicks as an ear worm that I can't get enough of.

The new Tribe album was solid after one listen. Will listen to it a few more times to see if it grows on me more.

I've listened to the album about 20 times now with some songs more than others on top of that. I have to say that Conrad Tokyo, DisGeneration and We The People stand out the most to me but there isn't a weak track in the bunch. A+

The Killing Season is a real stand-out for me, and I'm betting it will be the track that gets the most rotation (and not just because of Talib Kweli and Kanye having writing credits and uncredited vocals).

Super poignant track for the times. "Now they wanna condemn me for my freedom of speech 'Cause I see things in black and white like Lisa and Screech"



DisGeneration and We The People are excellent as well.

Space Program and Kids are my favourites so far.

Space Program because I just can't think of a more quintessential ATCQ sound than that song.

Kids because I was really missing hearing Andre 3000 rap.

Kids... is really awesome too, and not just because of Andre. Tip is shockingly good at mimicking the modern style, which is crazy cool to see, since most 90s rappers are set in their flow and refuse to update when they release new material.

God, wasn't it great hearing his voice to start that track?

Listen to Solo (reprise) on Frank Ocean's "Blonde". That's some sweet Andre 3000

Finally had a chance to drive around and listen to the ATCQ album in its entirety twice. I'm really impressed. For a group that hasn't put out anything in 18 years they really came back hard. Very cohesive album from front to back. The beats are great and all the guest appearances fit well. I think I only skipped over 2 tracks out of the whole album.

Don't want to horn in on ATCQ's excellent week but holy #### KXNG CROOKED is absolute fire right now. 3 songs dropped in 10 days, and today's is incredible.

So many more gems on this guys channel. Worth checking out if you like the older hip-hop sound like I do.
