Prince Ali- I Miss 1994

I've been meaning to do this write-up for a good two months now, in fact I Miss 1994 was supposed to be the first induction for our bucket list. Not that it matters to anyone.
Anyway, this is an album by a Toronto based artist named Prince Ali. Someone I was completely unaware about until I heard a little ditty called Righteous Scrolls which featured Tragedy Khadafi. If you haven't yet heard it, click that link, it's one of the finest jazz-rap productions that will ever bless your ears. So, off the brute strength of that one record, I was compelled to dig further and see what type of other goodies Prince Ali might have recorded earlier in his career. And the most heralded was an jazzy ode to 1994, which was a must-cop and a free download from my understanding.
The most impressive part of this tape was the interludes. Instead of skits or talking about this and that, Ali takes an interlude as an opportunity to play some mellow jazz and lead right into the next jawn.
And when Prince Ali does handle the mic, he rips it to shreds in an old school manner. In the process, he sets an undeniable vibe that has been so far gone in years past. If you miss '94, you need this in your life. Trust.
