Leave It All Behind is a concise and complete set of songs that brings out the best of both producer Nicolay and Phonte.
-
Musically, Nicolay's in his comfort zone, making the sort of album he'd been more or less heading towards since "Connected," an album that, while certainly rooted in hip-hop, knocked like a pillow fight.
-
This talented duo has made one hell of an album, actually one of the best of 2008, in the process.
-
With electronic and live sounds, emotional production and excellent vocals from some of the underground scene’s best, Leave It All Behind is an open and experimental take on hip-hop and soul, highly successful, at that.
