Disco de RJD2: “Colossus”

I'm very pleased with this new album. From the start RJ grabs the listener and you're committed from that point forward. I love the Kenna track which has a very RJD2-style R&B synth to it. The track with Illogic gives you a verse, though short, that is packed to the brim with pure style. I had never heard the other two artists before this but though they were good pairing in quality to the Weightless MC. In the later part of the album RJ jolts you back to his love of the introduction coming mindfully late in the recording and sends a good reminder to the listener that he has only gone higher with this one. An album well-worth the awful $16, 18, or 20 you occasionally see tacked on to a CD, but at 10.99 - seriously, this is the definition of a steal.

This is another awesome RJD2 album. I think we have them all now! My husband and I will buy anything he does!

Possibly. Its a great culmination of all the styles that he has accumulated over the years, mixing hip-hop with electro, funk with rock, and soul with breakbeat. A really nice musical exploration.

Definitely great, but takes a few listens to fully appreciate. I initially was unimpressed, but after about the third listen I was mesmerized. This is a bold, eclectic album that combines many genres together in a way that continues to surprise me after listening to it probably 15 times. I am glad he is challenging himself as an artist, and taking us along for the ride, it's a fun one.
