Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out directly following the initial disbandment of A Tribe Called Quest, the legendary emcee largely traded complex, jazz-inflected conscious rap for sleek, club-ready anthems. Produced heavily alongside J Dilla under The Ummah moniker, 'Amplified' thrives on bouncing, minimalist funk beats designed specifically for the late-90s urban dancefloor.
