Blackalicious
'Nia' [Quannum]
8.5
This album is everything Hip Hop Should and Can Be...
The name of the album is Nia which means purpose in Swahili.. The purpose of this album is to elevate and take the listner on a musical journey that will forever have him/her craving for more of the same. Blackalicious with this album has done what Hip Hop is suppose to do-move the crowd to a higher level. They're creativity, musically adventurous and relevant. This is an incredible album.It's obvious that these kids got skillz and can wreck any microphone.. hence they don't spend a lot of time bragging and boasting. instead they concentrate on bringing out their artistic/soulful side.. This album is a breath of fresh air at a time when so much seems redundant and uninspired..
