This CD is a new release this year, but this has me thinking back to some older Hip-Hop. The beats and the vocals are upbeat and positive. This is a breath of fresh air that Hip-Hop needs. In a market flooded with egocentric, materialistic, braggart artists, Brown Company brings thats dope summer time style. Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood has great melodies and a happy swing to it that isnt going to appeal to the "thugs". If you liked Arrested Development, Fresh Prince, or any of the artists from the 90's era that wasnt about bling, then you really should check these cats out. They actually sound like they enjoy making music and had fun with this CD. The vocals arent awe inspiring, but fun none-the-less.
