Press Release:
This album is perfection. I don't say that about too many albums and this one truly stands in a class by itself. It is the hip hop embodiment of peace and tranquility. This album is so good it trancends the boundaries of hip hop and pushes the boundaries of music. It's food for the mind and soul. You can tell it was a labor of love and that Talib Kweli and Hi Tek did it strictly for the love of the music and could have cared less about the money and bling bling. The way real hip hop artists should be.

It shows through in the quality of this music. Lyrically, Talib is a master and he's truly a giant in the mental. Hi Tek's beats are nothing short of beautiful, check out "Good Morning" and "The Blast". He weaves and blends the samples and beats so intricately that it's fluid. It flows together in a perfect symphony of harmony. This album came out at the start of the commercial bling bling era which has now completely taken over hip hop. Reflection Eternal was like a breath of fresh air in a polluted hip hop culture.

It will stand the test of time because even now, eight years later I will still listen to it. Now doubt 20 or 30 years from now it will be considered a masterpiece even though I already consider it such. Put simply, this album must be heard in full to really appreciate. It is one of those rare albums that only come once in 20 or 30 years. Probably longer. If you love conscious hip hop or just real hip hop, I beg of you to listen to this album. I promise you won't be dissappointed. Peace.
