Substantial & Marcus D form up the emcee-producer duo, Bop Alloy to give us an absolute gem of an album that is based in hip-hop with tinges of classical jazz & soul. Do NOT let this album slip through the cracks because it deserves your ears. Marcus D is a perfect fit for Substantial who mesh together like a modern day Pete Rock and CL Smooth. The instrumentation on the beats will leave your senses heightened for Substantial's clear and precise raps to take you to a perfect mindstate of musical bliss. You can get this album via bandcamp HERE and if your lucky enough to get your hands on the Japan import from CD Baby (HERE) then you will be treated with the bonus cut that may just be my favorite off the album.
