Man, this is definitely in my top 10 of 2019.
Also,..
"Secrets & Escapes" is a compendium of Brother Ali's time spent with Evidence, over the course of three trips to California, recording in a Venice garage with no regard for pleasing the internet or competing with the music industry. Evidence chopped up records on old-school samplers and ran them through a compressor (2 track) so they couldn’t be re-arranged or mixed. Brother Ali sat with the mic and spit rhymes as they came to him, without writing or organizing them into songs. Ev smoked a lot of weed, Ali prayed extensively, and their influences on each other can be heard in the recordings. Any time they made something that reminded them of what they’ve become known for, they threw it away and started something new. Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch and CS Armstrong came through to bless the project with contributions, too.

Album is fire. I haven’t liked any Ali projects since the Jake One album from 5 or 6 years ago but this is really good. Evidence killed this with the beats and good features even Kweli who I usually can’t listen to
