    Ambitious, but a challenging listen mainly because it sounds like this album has no idea what it's doing. It often seems like it's trying to be commercial without being commercial (if that makes sense), but it just ends up messy and cluttered.

    Like so many ambitious, mid-career releases, BLack on BLonde can be quite challenging at times.

    While the disc does eventually find its footing, the clash between clearly artistic and commercial endeavours makes for an uneven and somewhat jarring listen.

    His strength has always been his versatility: he combines old-school rap with a solid singing voice and an ability to play guitar and drums. Separating these elements is a curious strategy, though his verbal and instrumental talents still show up on both sides.
