The journey from Own Pace to FULL CIRCLE finds meaning in everyday despair. The project feels more like a continuation of the ideas explored on Own Pace. Still, while FULL CIRCLE may be familiar, it’s hardly stale. Medhane’s message for himself and his audience is evergreen: Self-care is a continuous process.

The record kicks off with the gritty and hallucinatory “Dan Freeman”, a song that alludes the protagonist of both the 1969 novel and 1973 film The Spook Who Sat by the Door: Dan Freeman, the CIA’s first black officer. The X-ray-inspired cinematography by Christopher Currence matches the inverted and introspective verses and sets the tone for the emcee’s latest 8-track, 15-minute offering.

Album Of The Year
Another solid addition to the slums movement, Medhane clocks in with a 15 minute project that is pretty tight and cohesive overall.

FULL CIRCLE sounds like Medhane's most accessible release to date, not only production wise but performance-wise as well. There's a much more modern hip hop influence on the production on here than his previous projects but it works. The production sounds great which is what we've come to expect from Med and anyone associated with the slUms collective.
