Just Finished Listening to Soul Medication. The Best One Yet, My Bredren. A Blazin Album For Sure ! Sage Will Be Stoked to Hear It When He Gets Back From NY. Peace.
Bredrin, I don't know what to really say about the new album, other than "sublime', and when I use that word, I use at as a visual artist, not as a referance to some crappy old Cali band...
Soulmedic = sublime brilliance.
