Album Notes & Community Reviews

On his latest album, the prolific poet and MC continues to hone his unique and philosophical brand of hip-hop. 'Outstanding Understanding' is a mellow and deeply introspective record, featuring Ferreira's signature abstract, talk-singing rhymes over a backdrop of jazzy, sample-heavy boom-bap beats. It's a raw and technically impressive work, full of bittersweet observations and conscious thought.
