"Wake up and get ready for another level of elitist hip hop and soul controlling !"

Towards the end of the year 2009, the 144 Elite member and the Dope-E "find", Justice Allah released the solo debut of Supreme Mathematics on his own label "Elite World". The alert listener will not fail to recognize the album's all encompassing spectrum of themes. Justice's detailed statements about the brutally hard teachings of the Black Muslims make for some highly incendiary material. Justice knows how to deftly deliver the fine balancing act between deeply profound content and a blazingly hot hip hop product. Like a soft carpet -- yet in many ways crystal clear -- Justice's rap mixes into a harmonically relaxed beat construction. This effect was created by a collaborative effort between Justice, Mentor and 144 Elite member Dope-E, and homies like Immortal Beat and Jones!
Tracks like "Power", "Wisdom", "the title track" and above all the wonderful "Cipher" (my personal favorite) play as a type of homage to the inseparably tied phenomena of soul and hip hop. And then we must mention the highly talented Ashlei Mayadia, whose vocals add another seal of quality to the album. Lost in reverie, the old school song "Culture", with beat samples from the totally dope "Mind Over Matter" by West Coast legend Ice T , easily transported me back to the good old days. To the hypnotic tick tock and divine trumpet sound in "(Forgive Dem) God", I thrilled to the sunset and forded the Rio Grande at the Mexican border town of Brownsville. Simply magnificent... A somewhat harder note is hit in "Build/Destroy". The searing guitar tones make it abundantly clear that you don't mess around with Supreme Mathematics. Supreme Mathematics may be the weapon most suited for battle in the fight against the world wide hip hop disaster. With the strength of his bite and sharp claws, this young lion is poised to become the next alpha male in the SPC pride. WORD !

Peace,
