Most times when albums are made, there is usually just one basic thing in the mind of the artist(s) involved... the cash returns. This is why songs are cut just to appeal to the pocket and the album makes noise for the moment. Check for that album a year later and its probably gone out of extinction. But if art and love for the music prevails, the content and conceptual flow of the songs cut on there will carry the album for a lifetime and that is how the title 'classic' is earned.
On this note, I present to you SoulJazz and the album is The Renaissance Theory. I am not particularly sure if it was marketing or promotion but this is a seriously slept on material. I stand by my word that it is slept on and you only need to give it a serious listen to understand where I'm coming from.
If I have any complaint about this piece of work, it will probably be that the strong point also being the weakness too. By this, I am referring to the varying styles of the rappers involved. Instead of hearing a monotonous style all through the project, you hear differing styles but that in itself could overwhelm one too. But all in all, this is a very impressive album and it is even more impressive to know they did it all independently which makes me respect them even more. MHP, Aqbar, Rapsom, G.A.B and Rhyme Master Richy deserve every accolade and support they can get for this, and they are SoulJazz which interestingly describes the sound of the project too.
Sgt. Grief!
