I've got all of his earlier material, and when the advance dropped in January, I was all over it. No disappointment at all. I know I'm gonna cop this for real.
Musically, it's clearly in a similar vein as Shadows on the Sun and Champions EP (Ant production, yeah.), lyrically it's even more brutally honest and personal, and, if you can listen to Faheem and not shed a little tear of sadness, your heart is made of tin. ;)
Support the guy, he's the truth...
