Aceyalone - A Book of Human Language


Aceyalone has had some spikes in quality over the years, but his sophomore solo album, 'A Book of Human Language' belongs in the hip-hop Bible. The album is a concept album that plays out like a book, divided into individual chapters (including a Forward/Contents/Afterward) with Aceyalone poetically soaring over jazzy loops at the hands of longtime collaborator Mumbles.

Simply nothing to fault this album for -- Aceyalone explores the depth of every track and elevates them to something timeless. Case & point:




"The Guidelines"





A Book of Human Language
