While MC/singer Quelle Chris and beat-maker Chris Keys' first collaborative album, 2015's "Innocent Country", was a meditation on isolation and pessimism, this belated sequel is an altogether more positive and outward-looking affair. It's a rather ironic twist given the global lockdown we're all enduring, but musically what they've delivered is exactly what we need: a brilliant collection of soul-fired hip-hop cuts rich in beats that variously doff a cap to J Dilla, gospel, jazz, reggae and neo-soul. It's a breezy, summery and life-affirming collection all told, with the assembled cast-list of guest MCs and vocalists reading like a who's who of the US hip-hop underground. It's the album we all need right now.
