Why has no one told me about this album before? 5mo. Benny. 96. One of the best concept albums ever.

Mr. Lif "I-Phantom" (2002). I mentioned earlier how Aesop Rock’s Labor Days album was the album dedicated to the workaholic and the 9-5er. If that’s the album for the 9-5er, than Mr. Lif’s debut is the album for the ultimate pessimist. The person that works to achieve their dreams only for it to crumble all at the end of existence. Although he keeps getting up and getting up, it ultimately ends in disaster.
