Album Notes & Community Reviews

After years of internal disputes and delays, the iconic rap collective reunites to celebrate their 20th anniversary. RZA's production noticeably steers away from their gritty, lo-fi origins toward polished, live instrumentation and sweeping soul samples, attempting to impart a mature, unified message of positivity and political consciousness.
