Will ship USPS First Class International Mail to customers outside of America. International customers will not have a tracking number. Please allow 3-7 business days for delivery to customers in America and 2-3 weeks for delivery to customers outside of America.De La Soul's third album renounces the pop crossover, mocking wit, and conceptual sprawl of their earlier work in favor of a relaxed, sober set of individual tracks. They also rely more on their friends: there are a couple of top-notch guest shots by Shortie No Mass, and the JB Horns add deliciously jazzy solos and vamps all over the disc. Prince Paul is still producing, but he contents himself with sharp funk and jazz loops. Though not the group's most dazzling work, Buhloone Mindstate has some of the group's finest lyrics: "I Am I Be," a meditation on Black English and identity, and "Breakadawn," a subtle tribute to hip-hop's old school. --Douglas Wolk Read more

Review & Description

Troy Co$$ Johnson has been bubbling on the LA scene with his tales of love lost and gained and hard street rhymes all told with heartfelt integrity. Named as LA's most underrated rapper by the LA Times, Co$$ is an artist who uses vivid imagery and sharp rhymes in his delivery to paint a clear picture of his content. Co$$ has been featured on many releases, most notably on Exile's debut album "Dirty Science", Fashawn's "Boy Meets World" and on the self-titled Johnson & Johnson (Blu & Mainframe) release. His debut 12 inch with Fonetik Simbol came out on Tres in 2009 and was well received worldwide. Co$$ will no doubt make some huge waves with this debut album bursting with creativity, unique flow and original, introspective content. The production is remarkably varied, with synth laden melodies merged with dusty loops throughout in a melting pot that includes beats from Exile. The perfect balance has been made with songs that make you screw your face up (see Da Meanest Prod. by Exile), and thought provoking, captivating soundscapes (see Scriptures prod. by The Soul Academy). With a beautifully polished intro, Risen brings forth that shiver down your spine music. In typical Tres fashion, Spaceman delivers a laid back west coast sound laced with fly pianos and a hook reminiscent of the classic Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg bounce. Tracks such as In The Wind give the listener that instant head nod essence. Co$$ s label mate Shawn Jackson adds one of three features to the song with his usual experience and prowess. Read more
