Mr Lif has blended veteran producers such as Edan and J-Zone with up and coming producers Willie Evans Jr., Batsauce, Therapy, and Headnodic to create an album that speaks brazenly about the current political issues and agendas Americans and the global community are facing: fear, paranoia, and angst as the U.S. economy collapsed and the bailout bill passed, self hatred in the Black community, and the housing crisis are just a few of the topics touched on through I Heard It Today. Lif takes these negatives and turns them on their head, using them in search of a healthier way of life and a way to achieve freedom and peace of mind through the power of the imagination. Guest appearances by Bahamadia and Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks help to solidify this album as a crucial piece of art delivered at a pivotal point in American history.
