I purposefully took extra time to synthesize and produce the write up for this album. I wanted to ensure that that the caliber of work that your about to read only did the album as much justice as possible before you, my good people reading this, would listen to this incredible album for yourself. Funny thing about this album was it's timing; I remember standing outside the KPFK radio station after our "Love Chords" broadcast talking with Glockz and Microphone about the downfall of R&B and Soul like it was the fall of the Byzantine empire. We reminisced on "old school" tracks and artisits like, Tevin Campbell's "Can We Talk," New Edition, and Mint Condition. We talked about the lack of musicianship and quality contributions in recent R&B and Soul. With the anticipated and triumphant return of artist D'angelo to the music scene we all agreed and expect that great R&B and Soul will make a return as soon as D'angelo begins producing new music. But with the release of BJ The Chicago Kid's "Pinapple Now-Laters" album, it looks like we won't have to wait on D'angelo to bring the R&B and Soul back to it's glory days.
