    Still one of my favorites in 2024. It’s not just about being a fan or appreciating the artist’s skill level.
    This one hits the soul and drops some straight life knowledge.
    Listen and think about where we are as a society today. The revolution is here, but not exactly how we’d thought it would go down. The people the say are your enemy is actually your friend. The snakes in the grass.. DMX layed that out too.

      Reminds me of some wise person saying:
      "Love your worst enemy as you love your dearest friends."
      Just living up to that is quite hard, but when you ask:
      "What would Love do now?"
      , you can gain a good sense of the real reality.

    Then I listened to revolution vol 1 & 2, then the martyr.
    Then I found out about the 3rd World and Portable Immortal.
    Then I heard about The Middle Passage, which I can't wait for...

    So happy this album is out, been waiting for some new music for him for some time now. So many rappers keep adapting to the new style with synthesized beats and vocals. Immortal keeps it real with the same kinda style and speaks real shit. Go buy his old albums instead of just pirating them, he's an artist that's actually worth supporting.

    Good thing it came out back then because it's more relevant now than it ever could have been. Would it be if it weren't?

    You serve in My Kingdom better than I could have imagined and I appreciate everything you are all doing while walking with me to the perfection that is based in pure unconditional love of ME and of all others.
