I Heard It Today is really good. A couple of boring tracks, like the one with Vinnie Paz, but overall a better album than Mo Mega and it´s great to see that he managed to make a great album without Def Jux. But I Phantom and ER are still his best works and I Phantom is still one of the best (rap) albums ever. Hopefully he can do another album with The Perceptinists soon. One of the most intelligent and best mcs.
