Akua Naru- The journey Aflame!

Any of you heard this? Some grown woman hip hop...gives me a lauryn type feel, just a great vibe in general.. you guys should definitely check it out..

I've been spinning it a few days now, plenty of standout tracks..but my favorites at this point are run away, the world is listening, poetry how does it feel, and the journey

..these usually change with more spins

What are some of the best songs? I'll Youtube them

favorites at this point..

Listening to samples and it has a nice sound to it. She is a student of game no doubt and I luv to see that. Don't know how often i'd play it because it is a tad on the too slow or sleepy mellow side. Someone like Pounds or Akrone would luv this album. I'm still going to try to find a link for it though. She has a nice flow and dope voice.

Yea, I hear you. It's definitely got a mellow sound to it, I like that kind of vibe sometimes though..I just throw it on and zone out..but you should give it a full listen anyways =)

I have a three spin minimum rule when it comes to albums because I tend to want to stick to my niche type of music.. specifically introspective feel type hip hop..but sometimes I be on my Bun B shit, so yea...lol

so is the three spin minimum just on stuff you think you will like or on any album you spin?

Not everything..Mostly on an album that I feel I should like but is slightly different than my comfort zone, or by a producer/artist whose previous stuff I dig, or when someone whose opinion I trust tells me I absolutely have to listen to something..I've done the three spin thing with some albums that turned out below sub par because of the latter..but I tried. If I recall correctly, I trust the opinion of a good number of people on this forum, so I'll probably spin whatever recs come my way..

Okay I finally listened to this in full and I am impressed. Its definitely more poetry meets hip hop but in the vein of Q-Tip, Mystic, and Speech. I can here a little Bahamadia in her flow at times. If any of you are fans of that sound you will like this. Its going on my best of 2011 list.
