A Book of Human Language

Aceyalone came out of the Freestyle Fellowship scene and brought that group's jazz-influenced, syllable-obsessed approach into a solo context that was more focused and more strange. The production on this record doesn't sound like anything else from 1998 Los Angeles — abstract, open, and deliberately un-commercial. He's rapping about language itself while demonstrating complete control over it.
