Hit: 5 Stars

This CD is my introduction to Guru. I hadn't heard either of the 2 previous CDs in his Jazzmatazz series so I was able to judge this CD for what it is.

And what it is, is great music! Hip hop with neo soul leanings and jazz flourishes in bits. Featuring a stellar collection of collaborators, each bringing something to their song and not just tacked on. Most co wrote the tracks they featured on. It made an impressive #32 on the billboard album charts.

There's the bouncy, airy, catchy `Keep your head' featuring joyous horns and Angie Stone singing the chorus.

There's the swinging jazz of `Plenty' featuring Erykah Badu's ethereal vocals against a big band to neo soul rhythm. With plenty of bass!

`Who's there' features Cameroonian sibling duo Les Nubians singing in French to a lush, sparse, dramatic backdrop. With lyrics about a street hustler with no hope in life. Who's there for my people in the streets/Who's there for my people who got nothing to eat. Excellent!

`All I said' is about a tiff with his girl over his not being able to talk to or be with her all the time because of work. Macy Gray delivers the chorus in a smoky low key delivery.

Kelis features on the quirky sounding `Supa Love' which sounds like it could have come off one of her albums. A slowed down, typical sparse and tight Neptunes production, with delicate guitar strumming in the chorus.

Lest you think it's all a ladies affair, `Night love' features Isaac Hayes. A retro sounding Shaft-like dramatic piece with the great man (Hayes) providing some narration in his deep bass voice.

`Timeless' features Herbie Hancock and is a dark sounding, mid tempo number with piano tinklings and a tight bass line.

`Mashin' up da world' features JR Reid providing some ragga rapping and an uncredited sample of Michael Jackson's `Earth song'. An angry protest!

`Certified' featuring Bilal and Slum Village is an excellent bubbly number. Has to be heard to be believed.

Other standouts are the fight for your rights anthem `Lift your fist' with The Roots, `No More' with Craig David and `Guidance' with Amel Larrieaux.

An outstanding CD with a very wide reach, which should appeal to fans of R&B and Hip hop.
