I've always been intrigued by hip-hop artists who have been able to evolve and have objected to staying in the box in which their audience is most accustomed to seeing them.
Ahmad has come a long way since his early 1990s hit "Back In The Day." For his latest effort, "Good Meat Makes Gravy," he releases a short film that is scored with two of the album's songs, "Thankful" and "That Day."
