Posner's voice sounded so weak and that beat it boring as hell. State Of Grace was the first song that I immediately liked. He killed that song. I got hella love for POC and that track How I Love You from Gutter Rainbows is too tough. I also liked Palookas, I'm On One and Cold Rain. I hated Self Savior.

That's the weird thing about Posner. On the surface, he sounds like he'd ruin every song, but he can write and he picks a tone that makes it work (he doesn't overdo it. He stays in his lane.) Listen to the Layover where has a bunch of hip-hop /R&B songs and it works.

forgot to say this: That Come Here track on PoC is a hit if it was anyone else. I woulda pushed the hell outta the song

In one of interviews I posted, Kweli said that he did. He just didn't put in as much money as would have been needed. Same thing with outstanding. I would have sold that song to someone else and ate of the songwriting credit residuals.

This is out? I just went to iTunes to listen to the snippets and it's not on there. What kind of struggle label is Kweli working with that he can't get it on iTunes ?
