up 083: s.o.n.o.g.r.a.m. [2005]

''there aren't words. those in the know flew off the handle excited every time lo even hinted that this might finally be dropping. 

of binary star underground notoriety, lo is by far the most intelligent mc you've ever heard. if he has any flaw, it's that every line is so chock full of thought: deep hip hop references, wordplay, and .... just incredible lyricism that people will miss some of it. i've played this thing easily over 1000 times and I catch something new every single time through. 

if you're looking for an heir to lyricists following - and, honestly, eclipsing a tribe called quest, common, mos def, talib kweli -- (which is true hip hop, after all), you simply must pick this up. this man is the greatest mc - ever. period. i don't say that lightly, given the above company.'' - robd in indiana

hm, i don't know if i would call lo the best emcee ever.. but he's definitely one of my favorites. this album is just.. dope.
