On tracks like "Melanin" and "Make It Take it", J. Rhodes manages to delve into topics like race relations without coming off as preachy. The infectious beats, intricate rhymes schemes and catchy hooks are a recipe to get casual listeners dancing in their seats; but for those who venture to take a closer listen you'll find a jewel or two.
