Album of the Day: Mood
While Hi-Tek releases a new, overrated solo record, it's important to remember just how good this producer used to be. The Cincinnati-based producer made about half the beats on this local group's debut full length, including the excellent single, "Karma." The record also features Talib Kweli in an early appearance on four songs, and he shows his promise well, even if his voice is somewhat underdeveloped. This is dark underground hip hop, with abstract beats and hard-hitting lyrics. Along with Reflection Eternal, this is how Hi-Tek should be remembered, long after his inexplicably forgettable recent beats pass into the abyss.

his beats have become generic and forgettable. He went commercial big time. I do like "Ol English," though, but it's not the kind of work this talented producer should be making, imo.
