A G Love joint is always fun, and always feels like a party–but this one, his latest, even more so. It’s got guest shots by luminaries and newcomers to the blues and hip hop scenes, ranging from Speech and Scholly D to Alvin Youngblood Hart and Chuck Treece, with production from Luther Dickson…
There aren’t very many explicitly blues-centered hip hop albums worth their salt (Nas made a couple), and I can’t recall a single one based in the Delta Blues–so this album feels fresh and fun.
