Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced largely in collaboration with the Soulquarians and The Neptunes, the Chicago rapper's highly experimental fifth album sharply divided audiences upon release. Integrating sprawling psychedelic rock elements, live instrumentation, and Prince-inspired eclecticism, it remains his most creatively radical and ambitious project.
