Sadat X | The Sum of a Man
Dymond Mine | Amazon or iTunes
According to Daryl McIntosh: “Sadat X’s sincere passion for hip-hop and acuity in examining day-to-day life within the culture is contagious, compelling and sometimes somber throughout the album. Always revered for offering some of the most consistently well-informed perspectives, Sadat’s penchant for giving voice to complex subjects is proven with his layered approach to topics including battle-scarred relationships and police brutality. The album’s not all doom and gloom, however, as Sadat relishes the simpler pleasures in life, like having a few drinks with the old crew at the end of a long work week. Now masters of their respective crafts and OGs within the culture they’ve helped to cultivate, Diamond D and Sadat X offer a highly listenable album that helps dispel the notion that the elements that compile hip-hop are perishable and that our legends are disposable. As with literature, theater, or other forms of music, age and experience should be celebrated as virtues, with those bold enough to share their self-reflection and life summation hailed for preserving the integrity of the art form.”
