CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Diverse is a rapper you think you've heard before--not because this Chicago MC sounds similar to others, but because his presence is so powerful it seems impossible that this is only his first album. Intelligent without being arrogant, conscious without being corny, Diverse also boasts two of the greatest assets any MC could ask for: an authoritative baritone and a confident flow. These help him keep up with some of the more seasoned rappers who appear on the album, including Vast Aire (formerly of Cannibal Ox), Lyrics Born, and Jean Grae. Complementing Diverse's superior lyricism is top-notch production courtesy of a holy trinity of underground favorites: Prefuse 73, Madlib, and RJD2. They push the album from raucously energetic to sinisterly moody to laid-back cool. At a mere 11 songs plus one skit, Diverse's debut accomplishes an unlikely feat in these days of overblown hype and rampaging ego: he leaves you wanting more. --Oliver Wang Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAbsolute butter!!! Carl D. Foggey | Schweinfurt, Germany | 07/07/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am truly thankful to have purchased this album. Diverse is, without a doubt, one of the best MCs in the game (underground and mainstream). For this to be his first album is scary. I haven't heard a debut this potent since the likes of Nas' "Illmatic" and Little Brother's "The Listening". With a nearly perfect flow and lyrics that are flat out outstanding, he almost reminds me of Talib Kweli. The standout tracks on this album are "Uprock","Ain't Right", the introspective "Blindman", the melodic "Leaving", and the perfect song to end a album,"In Accordance". To be perfectly honest this is one of the best albums I have heard in a very long time and the sad part is the majority of Hip-Hop heads will never hear of him. I implore you to change that." Unbelievable cheerfree | Los Angeles, CA | 09/06/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "As another reviewer said might happen, this was the CD that turned me into a true hip-hop believer. Diverse posesses mind-bending lyrical and rhythmic talents that must be heard to be believed." Definately Classic Underground Rap/Hip-Hop Inspired Sic William m Coles | BALTIMORE, MARYLAND United States | 05/25/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I mean this CHicago native is definately on the move. From the introduction you can feel that some relevant material is about to be exposed. And sure enough ......the collabo's with vaste aire, jean grae, with the exceptional word play and lyrical science and consciousness, Diverse's world. The tracks have a new found old school favor. I admit I had misplaced this joint but found it happily. Oh and "the eyes of a blind mind", is just a phenomenal track. It speaks volumes, hope you all are listening."
