It was described as a spoken word album, incorporating jazz, hip-hop and sound collage.

Reception

described the album as "both archival and of the present -- engrossing and energizing, to be blasted from every boombox," while The [Wall Street Journal] called it a combination of "jazz, poetry and archival sounds on an album of category-defying sonic collages." Chicago Tribune referred to it as "a dense, tour-de-force collection of improvisational jazz and punk poetry that enhances this musical legacy." BrooklynVegan described the album as "coming off like speeches from a civil rights march set to a backdrop of jazz instrumentation and hip hop production."
