"Similar to Carter, KeSandra's material followed the established Southern singer-storyteller format, but unlike Carter and other practioneers, exemplified by tracks such as '', '' and ''' the messages were of black self-responsibility, economic empowerment, social responsibility, etc. On a political continuum his material had a decidedly conservative flavor (check out '(What's Under) the Natural Do'), but it was laced with humor and seldom came off as strident, or in-your-face obnoxious. That probably didn't make him particularly popular among broad sectors of the black intelligentsia, let alone among liberals. Still, regardless of your political stance, the man recognized a great groove, making this a surprisingly enjoyable listening experience. "
