Naeem previously caused a furore as the spicy hip-hop act . The albums (2006) and (2011) combined hip-hop with explosive electronica. Under the pseudonym Naeem, that energy is more encapsulated and Naeem raps about his experiences as a black queer person in America, his partner, love and his personal growth. Although Naeem is more gentle here than on his Spank Rock albums, his music and lyrics
… sound urgent. Knowing where he stands as a person, his raps reflects on the struggles the black queer community has to face. The production explores styles such as funk, R&B and electronic music such as rave. Including and guest stars. The title track is about Naeem's former girl next door who impressed him when she once danced for him. With a nostalgic undercoat, Naeem looks back on his childhood here and with solid black beats he seems to be inviting her again to perform a dance for him. (JvQ)more
