Edan- Beauty and the Beat

one of the finer releases out so far this year imho...
certainly one of the best hip hop albums. Edan's really
grown as a producer since his last proper lp... the beats
are all very firmly rooted in hiphophistory, but they don't
really sound derivative at all... very dusted, and fairly
freeform... plus as an MC he's quite on point this time,
good flow, old skool enunciation, capable collaborators
(Percee P, Insight, and Mr. Lif <---who doesn't suck when he
isn't surrounded by obnoxious consciousnuss headz), a sense
of humour AND: he doesn't spend the whole time rapping about
how rap is dying and how ill his flow is.

my man Rollie P's take

metacritic

definite cross-over appeal on this one, come backpacker,
come crack-smoker...

sorry if there's a thread already (i did a google search an'
turned up nothing)

All I've heard is "Just Listen" on lexoleum 2, which I
recommend

it's great but i prefer primitive plus overall, 'promised
land' is probably my favourite track of his though
