With The All , the duo evolved past the pure aggression of the 1990s. The record balances mature perspective with raw Brooklyn energy. It highlights their personal growth, spiritual discipline, and sharp commentary on navigating modern life as seasoned veterans. Dynamic Production by the Soul Council
Following 2011’s —produced largely by Pete Rock—Smif‑N‑Wessun experimented with a reggae‑flavoured EP, Born and Raised , in 2013. But fans clamoured for a full‑length, fully realised album. The duo listened. In late 2018 they performed a celebrated Tiny Desk Concert for NPR, a rare honour for an underground hip‑hop act. The buzz reached a peak in early 2019 when word spread that 9th Wonder and his production team, the Soul Council , had been brought in to helm the entire record. smif n wessun the all zip link
