David Kelly is one of hip-hop"s most prolific and coherent voices, having written a book ("Fresh Air") and recorded four albums. On "Insomnia", he takes his largest artistic strides to date and presents perhaps the most politically charged hip-hop album of all time. Considering the tumultuous era in which we live, this release is as timely as it is articulate and inspiring. "...Capital D"s calm, authoritative flow effortlessly recalls the mic-wrecking skills of old schoolers Big Daddy Kane and Rakim, while his lyrics and song structures reflect a similar fondness for hip-hop"s past"--The Onion.
