Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected arrival of Ice-T's verse on Tip of the Iceberg, bridging Kingston and South Central.
The way the bassline in Bassline becomes the lead melodic voice, pushing the vocals into the background.
The lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on Questions that soften the blow of its heavy political message.
