Chemistry

Yes, yes, y'all. I copped Chemistry the other day and it exceeded my expectations. Wow.

As the cliche goes, words cannot express the excitement with which I yelled, 'you hear this, b!tches"' out of the window of my truck as I breezed through the first three tracks from the album. 9th Wonder has truly served up a perfect sonic backdrop on which literally caught wreck - like a mutha.

I think I'm going to have to keep this in HEAVY rotation throughout this entire weekend and really let in setlle in. This album is truly hip-hop for the soul. Buck comes off in his usual unassuming and straightforward way with razor-sharp rhymes that big-play artists only wish they could emulate on the best days. This is breath control at its finest. Take a minute and read some the following articles I found online for other perspectives on this gem.
I'll save a discussion on what constitutes chemistry for another date. But the album has some pretty good descriptions as well.
