Awakening

Finesse comes back swinging on this mid-90s return, and the production is tighter and more confident than anything he'd done before. The drums hit clean, the samples are well-chosen, and his flow sounds like a man who knows exactly what he's doing. There's no wasted space — every track earns its runtime. A focused album from a producer-MC who understood the craft.
