This side-project of Linkin Park emcee Mike Shinoda, was in a long time making. Maybe Mike was busy perfecting each beat - and it shows. Listen to the first single, the insanely catchy Remember the name; it has this infectious hook going all through that you can't help but hear it again. The same goes for Cigarettes and Petrified. Guest artists include members of The Roots, John Legend and DJ Joseph Hahn of LP.
The best track off TRT has to be Where'd you go (feat. Holly Brook) - a rap ballad. It starts off real slow with a piano and then comes the phat beat... awesome! A special mention goes to Kenji, in which Mike shares his family history.
This is pure unadulterated hip-hop! If you like Linkin Park, get this one... NOW!!!!
