There Is Only Now

Souls and Adrian Young are bringing things to another level with "There Is Only Now". This album is surprisingly and refreshingly dope. The concept works, the flow works and S.O.M. shows the rest of the Whack crews how MCing is done. The story-telling is on point and the direction is clear and cinematic. This album is as much visual as it it is lyrical and I find myself putting this purchase in heavy rotation. Needless-to-say, this will get play in the ride. This is the best Souls album since No Man's Land. That Said, 93 Til stands on its own as one of the Classics. I am refreshed and happy to give this album run.

This album has its moments where it is very enjoyable. The backing music sounds like live drums, etc. which adds to the creative intrigue. The story of the album is interesting as well. The only drawback is that Souls of Mischief have released better albums than this one so while it is unfair to judge vs. older albums, I can't help but reminded that the Souls of Mischief crew has masterpieces vs this album which renders this album "just okay" vs. "Amazing".

Nice album from the vets known as soul of mischeif

The Souls and Adrian Younge are giving you a nice refreshing change in this hip hop game. Live analog instruments, detailed and fresh lyrics, and a very smooth listen. This is a true album that you can listen to front to back. I truly enjoy it.

Excellent 👍

This is an absolute HIP-HOP BANGAH!!!!!!! Forget about all this watered down, softcore, weak mess being pushed on us. This is well produced & masterful MC-ing in its purest form. PLEASE DON'T SLEEP ON IT!!!!

This is a great album and the combination of Adrian Younge with this prolific rap group made this a a resident disc in the CD-changer. Opio, Tajai, and A-plus team with Ali Shaheed Muhammad to make this one listen-worthy every time it is the next disc up. Other albums I would have grown tired of by this point. After buying this, I had to listen to Prhyme as Adrian young appears as a producer on that album featuring DJ Premier. I still feel that this album has a more repeatable-listening quality to it than Prhyme.

Very happy customer

First and foremost, this album deserves a lot more recognition than what it's received- This is Souls of Mischief's sixth studio album, although none have really had the critical acclaim that their sublime debut "93 Til Infinity" received.21 Years on from the first LP, this album pushes all the right buttons- Think a large part of this can be accredited to Adrian Younge's superb production on the album- It is classic jazzy hip hop, harking back to the eras of Digable Planets, Brand Nubian and albums such as Commons 'Resurrection' album.The fact the album comes with a bonus instrumental disc is also a nice touch, being that I appreciate instrumental hip hop (stuff like Dilla's 'Donuts' album, any one of Madlib's immense discography; that kind of ilk)The emceeing on this album is totally on point; each of the group flow over the beats flawlessly like the veterans of the game that they are- Guest appearances are at a minimal, but Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg bring their A games on the respective tracks that they grace.In summary, this is a great reminder that hip hop still has it's soul in 2014; no party tracks, no bad gimmicks, just real old school sounding grown man rap. Highly recommended.

Killa track

le retour des souls franchment l'album est très bon mais il manque le petit truc qui aurait pu faire de ce nouveau LP une tuerrrieee maintenant le tous reste de très bon niveau inclus le cd2 remplis des instru donc c'est plutot cool tout ca ensuite je dirai que l'album sonne très soul en feat snoop dogg, busta rhymes et ali voilà un album que je conseil
