It's In Stores Tuesday
The Baltimore Sun reviews Cornel West's new album.
Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations, his second album and debut for Hidden Beach Recordings, hits stores Tuesday. As to be expected from West, the 14-track CD is a heavy listen as the mostly biting lyrics center on topics people don't usually discuss at the office water cooler: government deception, racial profiling, the painful legacy of the "n-word."..."This is a whole new different level to connecting the spiritual with the political," West says of the album. "I'm bringing to hip-hop that old-school sensibility. Let me try to bring a sense of history. Let's give our younger people a knowledge of their rich history."
