MH-264 K-The-I??? - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow  K-The-I??? marks a thunderous return to Mush with his latest full-length, Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow. Production on the album is handled entirely by Thavius Beck, his first project since he finished work on Saul Willaims' Niggy Tardust alongside Trent Reznor. Where his debut, Broken Love Letter, focused on past loves gone wrong, Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow is a collection of songs about the MC's cross country relocation, and trying to come to terms with how his life has changed from that. The result is a work of singular focus that catches K-The-I??? at his strongest, dropping ingenious lyrics over Blade Runner beats. The album features a stellar line-up of guest MCs as High Priest of a newly reunited Antipop Consortium, Busdriver, Subtitle, Scribble Jam winner Nocando, Vyle, and Mestizo all drop in. Thavius Beck even leaves the producer's desk and steps in front of the mic for a track. For fans looking for an album that ties hip-hop's past, present and future, K-The-I???'s Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow delivers. |

| Given how undeniably poppy and catchy this album is, I wasn't quite sure how lasting an impact XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival would have on me. But it's several months in and I still can't quite get enough of it. I love the melodies, I love the sometimes-kitschy lyrics, and I love the story behind the album's stylistic departure. Who knows, this one may not last that long with me, but for now it's still all about what sounds good, and this still sounds really, really good. - Sand Is Overrated |
