80/100. Equal parts heartfelt soul and uptempo funk-jazz, Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth is a harrowing yet eye opening expression of inner city struggles. Centered around the poverty and living conditions of urban living, the album paints a vivid picture of the uphill battle life was for many African-Americans in the 1970s. Each track, whether being extended funk jams or melancholic singing, brings variety and groove to the table, making the hour run time go by in an instant. Very impressed by this one.
