Item Summary
yU first gained acclaim as 1/3 of the Washington DC group Diamond District along with Oddisee and XO. Then he continued to garner success with his solo debut Before Taxes which was named to the Best of 2010 List by HipHopDX, Al Lindstrom, and Above Ground Mag.. yU then sharpened his skills through performances on a European tour and appearances at CMJ, SXSW, A3C, and the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festi val. yU is back with his sophomore project The Earn a progression that is as fluid, lyrical, and thought provoking as his critically acclaimed debut. His new album, The Earn, is a timely meditation on the struggle to advance, set afire by yU's potent wordplay.

Comment: on a scale from 1-5 stars, stuff that I wouldn't even listen to is somewhere in the negative stars. that said, I give this 2. every song that starts sounding ok is killed halfway through with some annoying r&b chorus. I bought the 3 best-sounding tracks in the form of an mp3 while I waited for my copy to arrive because the snippets sounded alright, and I got tired of listening to those before my vinyl even arrived. currently this is sitting in my ebay stack, it's money green vinyl so it should sell. *boring* bring back the diamond district vibe from the first LP please. it seems like if oddisee or apollo brown isn't associated with anything out of MMG, it falls flat.

Comment: as much as I like yu, i'm disappointed, pretty much the same deal as before taxes, intelligent lyrics, weak beats, I really thought he was going to step it up on this one. what I was really hoping for was an yu album produced entirely by oddisee, that would have the potential to be classic, besides that still better than most

Comment: Figured I would give it actual stars rating now that it lets you. "Blind" and "If U Down" are spectacular. The rest is good. A wonderful, and worthwhile, project to follow up Before Taxes. Rachael. You will have to wait until 13th to get a physical copy. I would check out any Exclusive Company in your local area. Otherwise there is one right off Brady and North in Milwaukee.
