AllHipHop<\/em>. \u201cBut Mack was also a very genuine lover of Hip-Hop music. He had a pure and hungry heart to see Hip-Hop go in the most healthy and progressive directions.<\/p>\n\u201cHe toured opening up for Arrested Development in Asia, Europe the UK and, of course, the U.S. His unexpected\/sudden death took everybody that knew him by surprise. I couldn\u2019t stop crying because of the loss. His biggest goal when he was alive was to get a new category for Hip Hop Artists that were over 35 years old and that was \u201cadult contemporary Hip-Hop,\u201d so I wanted to continue that tradition for him in his passing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speech opens the album on a personal note with the song \u201cLet\u2019s Get On With It\u201d in which he mentions Twan Mack\u2019s death within the first bar. From there, he reflects on the young Speech, who struggled with a \u201clack of principles,\u201d as he puts it, before diving into society\u2019s consciousness being \u201cminimal.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the title suggests, the album is chock-full of grown-man verses, a refreshing break from the often ignorant bars infiltrating mainstream rap.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want Hip-Hop fans and Arrested Development fans in general to be immersed<\/em> in the hunger, musicality, skills and relevancy of this 37-year-old revolutionary collective from Atlanta, Georgia,\u201d he adds. \u201cI want people to be inspired to remember why we were so important to Hip-Hop in the first place and why we continue to be in 2025\u2014and in fact, possibly more than ever including our debut.\u201d<\/p>\n
