    The Truth Is Here is his second perfect disc in that many years and just earned a spot in my Top Five Alive column.

    Ali can do this, can take the familiar, the overly confrontational, even the trite and overdone, and make it riveting, because he has a voice that strains syllables so that the meanings of his words are made perfectly clear--you can't escape what he's saying--and a flow that loads and unleashes relentlessly.

    Ali's lyrics and Ant's production have more to say in a few bars than most MCs and producers are able to in an entire song.

    Refreshing messages in a diamonds-on-my-chain hip hop era. Nice beats, insightful lyrics.

    I might get bashed for this, but this is yet another album that sounds like it could be shat out of another rappers ass. Som original beats though. Lyrics are mostly lower than average with a few good lines once in a while. only my opinioin, but this isnt worth my money.… Expand
