Better than 99% of what you listen to now

"This album is quite simply amazing. The lyrics are incredibly unique and interesting to listen to. Very refreshing after listening to rap of late which goes something like "I got game, f the haters, got money and women I'm the greatest ever" Flying Colours is just an amazing album that defies what most people think rap/hip hop is capable of.
If your unconvinced go to youtube and listen to Eye of the Storm which is my favorite track of the album. Thats not to say the rest of the album isnt top notch but I really like Eye of the Storm because of the unique lyrics and how you can sing/rap/whatever along to it.
You see time stops still in the eye of the storm
The Foundation of my home where my rhyming is born
Its a rhymic reality, a rhemedy through riddles
Where loves a hurricane and you meet me in the middle
Thats the opening line from Eye of the Storm which sets the bar for the album.
Just buy this for anyone who has the feinest interest in rap or hip hop and even if you dont it doesnt fit into any of the common archeotypes for the genre so a person who has never liked rap may love this album.
Just buy it"
