From Memphis to Chicago, Truth Universal's release of Self-Determination produces a jazzy and soulful release. Featuring special guest emcees: Stic Man of Dead Prez and Wise Intelligent. The album is enjoyable to hear, especially with the amount of instrumental sampling used in all of the tracks.

FCC Clean.
