There are glimpses of Ozu in how characters hold your attention just by sitting and saying nothing, the weight of the world settling around them, and suggestions of Antonioni in how men and women do right and wrong by their desires.
As the image flips between lovers and cities, two sets of voices working a syncopated beat, one pair of hands replacing another against these interchangeable cityscapes, it’s not just N.J. and his daughter who are brought together, but the past and the present and the possibility in each.

Articulate and clear-spoken, with varied, warm soul-funk tracks that layer percussion and samples over bouncing bass and drums, fast-talking California rapper Def Jef (Fortson) makes a fine first showing on the largely self-produced Just a Poet With Soul.
But egotism is its own reward, and Jef's endless boasts about his rhyming skill make the first side and most of the flip a lyrical snore.
Only the Afrocentric "Black to the Future" (biting the Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like an Eagle") and the urban tableau of "Downtown" break the mold, demonstrating the kind of material that should be the rule — not the exception — next time.
