I like this album a lot.  It is a very good mix of Hip-Hop and R&B.  It’s cool because it isn’t just singing over rap beats either.  The sound is like a modern-day Sly & the Family Stone.  Contributions from Hip-Hop heavyweights make the project that much sweeter too.  Jadakiss, Dr. Dre, Common, and Mos Def all shine with their respective roles in assisting Bilal with his memorable debut release.  By far, “Fast Lane” is the best track in my opinion.
