Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting vocal sample on 'Warzone' that mimics a funeral dirge over a sharp trap snare.
T.I.'s rapid-fire delivery on 'We Will Not' where the beat drops out to emphasize the word 'justice'.
The soulful, mournful hook of '40 Acres' that contrasts the aggressive verses with a sense of historical weight.
