A small, streamlined, and pretty nice collaboration, Detroit rapper/producer Black Milk meets up with Nat Turner, a combo of AB, Malik Hunter, and Zeb Horton, to create some solid, if unadventurous nu-jazz and jazz-funk. Each song gets right to the point and let's the idea linger for exactly how long it should before moving on to the next track. Whether it be addictive little basslines or choral vocals that weave in and out of the track, these things all stay their welcome and not a second later. The production is generally very good, as the album sounds buttery smooth from start to finish. From a compositional standpoint, there's nothing overtly original or anything particularly excellent, but they're all brief and a good enough time to keep the listeners attention. And really, I'm sure that's the only thing this collab had in mind.
