Killah Priest closes what is surely one of the best comeback years ever for a hip-hop artist, releasing his third work of the season, the second with Dutch producer Jordan River Banks after the neglected mixtape "Journey to the Planet of the Gods", a pearl immersed in the darkness of the abyss of the underground. Lyrically, Killah Priest centers the themes around religion, philosophy, science with his abstract style, what he knows how to do well, practically. Dropping bars with a slow and regular style, he still excels on a very good experimental production (amazing in "Beautiful"): the drum is there, it's lean, good, often downtempo, never intrusive. In one of the best moments of the project, Angelina Moore offers a sublime performance on one of the top beats chosen by Jordan River Banks. Killah Priest's work is compact and solid, 53 minutes divided into 15 songs, and although it comes months after the previous album's release, it feels like an exquisite starter for "Rocket to Nebula". 8/10.
