Do I need to introduce Sensational?

Sensational is truly one of a kind, in famous and precise WordSound characterization, that kind of person to hip-hop who was Lee Scratch Perry to dub or Sun Ra to jazz. Long story short, it's no exaggeration. For many years since his self-produced supernatural debut Loaded With Power he was homeless and lived on the streets of Brooklyn, so his albums were sporadic and produced by collaborators.

A couple of years ago he returned with his own productions, releasing an album once in a while on bandcamp since. This new one is a bomb, if you can get past amateurish look, which is criminally false idea of what he's actually doing. He has some kind of codex which stops him from using other people's samples, unlike almost any hip-hop producer he's recording it from scratch, using his weird inner sense of rhythm and melody (if you can call it that).

There is an old video that tells it all in a most appropriate way possible:

Sorry i forgot it's no Kanye. Won't happen again.

Though I've seen this guy mentioned by several, I have never closely checked out anything he's done. This is sounding pretty interesting thus far, so I will investigate further.
