The Bronx-born goat of rap has been on a tear recently, but was propelled back to the limelight in 2021. His Verzuz battle with Big Daddy Kane was one for the ages. KRS contiunues his reign of lyrical terror with a new album, I M A M C R U 1 2, which dropped on 2/22/22. The album is 14 songs deep and offers the Blast Master in all of his glory with his lyrical range on full display. On top of that, he offers socio-political commentary as well as high level critiques that have made the 50-something emcess famous. The album has enough for the young and the OG. Certainly, after 25-plus albums we'd expect KRS to experience some decline, but that is not happening. As he says often, "I do this!" Indeed he does an at a high level.
