All Music Guide - David Jeffries
Showing a bit of growth and a lot more understanding of the album format, M.E.D.'s sophomore release for the Stones Throw label is a serious step up for the rapper who's always an asset on the mike, yet you'd be hard-pressed to find listeners who would declare him their favorite.

Add the Aloe Blacc feature "Where I'm From" and faithful fans of the neo-soul underground should consider this a necessary acquisition.
