Catapulted to fame and serious hip-hop credibility with 2002 s DEAD RINGER LP Philadelphia-based DJ/multi-instrumentalist Rjd2 has enjoyed a prolific career following that debut with 2004 s critically acclaimed SINCE WE LAST SPOKE. His third effort seemingly abandons all the notions and titled that heve been placed upon him over the past five years. This is a cohesive pop album in the most classic sense a sound more akin to Phoenix than Prefuse 73. In essence this is RJD2s entrance into the continuum of enigmatic songwriter/producers capable of creating a record full of rich songwriting complex arrangements and clever production that transcends genre.
