I've been searching for something a little different to listen to lately and thankfully stumbled back on Amir Sulaiman's Like A Thief In The Night. Sulaiman is well-known from the Def Jam Poetry Slam tour and delivers some jaw-dropping, straight up moving spoken word tracks on this, addressing racism, politics, and death. His poetic ability--lyrically, conceptually, and technically-- are incredibly sound and doesn't hurt to have guests from The Last Poets and the always dope Mos Def. Add on "82nd and Macarthur", where Sulaiman waxes philosophical, presenting one of the most thought provoking songs of recent memory, and you got yourself something to think on. Get at it.
