    A project filled with rich, jazzy vibes and all the tight lyricism we've come to expect from one of Chicago's very best.

    Optimistic but never mawkish, August Greene distinguishes itself from other socially conscious albums with its practical approach. It's motivational music that, for once, makes change feel less elusive.

    The set's predominantly reflective mood and nuanced composites of jazz, soul, and hip-hop make it sound like an extension of Glasper's Black Radio Recovered, Everything's Beautiful, and reinterpretation of Kendrick Lamar's "I'm Dying of Thirst" as much as the trio's meetings on Black America Again.

    Just as the album looks like it’s about to settle and prosper in this zone, in comes “Piano Interlude,” and the tone of August Greene shifts messily.

    The album is admirable and at times rewarding for its sense of experimentation, but only for those willing to meet it on its own terms.

    Simply joyous. Those melodies and hooks are great. Super group indeed. Hope they can keep it going.
