People have been doing some serious hating on her with this album. I bought it on Friday along with Musiq and I love it. She doesn't have the studio sound that we have come to know from her, but her songs are definitely from the heart and I am feeling her pain. She is an artist, a poet, a writer. You have to give to Miss Hill...I am impressed. In a society full of people trying to do the status quo, she has stepped out and done her own thing and spoken the truth from her heart and I am happy to see how much she has progressed...you can feel it in her music.
