They're a 'musical collective', and this is their debut album. For this, they brought along a dozen or so guest artists (Janelle Mon\u00e1e, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Big Sean, etc.)\u00a0 mostly to share vocals with official member Chance The Rapper. It's a mixture of instrumental smooth-ish jazz, rap, R&amp;B and neo-soul. The lyrics are uniformly positive. And the music is generally laid-back and breezy, but full of great details. Close listening is mandatory. I love it at work through earbuds; at home through speakers I don't like it all.
