Curtis had struck it big with the 'Superfly' soundtrack. Here he lays down some more funky soul grooves with a nice edge to them.
The lyrics (and album cover) address the hardships of being black in America, though with a modicum of hope and positivity included in the mix. Not surprisingly, the album was a hit with black audiences but was often ignored by the white 'market'.
This album features the track "hard times" which was covered by a the Roots and John Legend on their collaborative album "Wake up!"
