“Born a nomad” (with origins in Minneapolis, Queens, Alaska, Atlanta, Washington and India), conscious rapper Ahmen demonstrates his exceptional technical skills as an emcee while sharing autobiographical anecdotes and observations. While Ahmen has an incredibly fast flow on all his tracks, the final product suffers from too much all at once. Track “Here” features a female singer over a simple R&B beat, and while we are impressed with the rapper’s fast flow, it serves as a party trick more than compelling storytelling. “UPPERCASE” has a similar approach, though it does experiment with varying delivery. “OD” (overdoubters... overdrivers... etc.) has trippy, effected vocals, but verges on corny as we get to the chorus, yodeling “odee... odee-ay.”
