A rare dud from NY-based underground hip-hop label Def Jux. Bronx-born Mike Ladd does more spoken-word, more beat oriented stuff than you usually see. The problem with this album is not that it’s bad – it’s listenable – just that it isn’t especially interesting or compelling. You could listen, but why would you want to?

Play (if you want): 1, 2, 4, 5
