A friend asked me to check this record out yesterday, but Blctxt actually added me on Facebook earlier in the day, so I would have gotten around to it eventually... probably. A Smart Black Boy: The Sonic Inception is nice, but I really didn't get into it until I got to Goodbye, which is track seven. It's not that the first songs are not good. Track two, A Smart Black Boy is particularly jamming too, as is track three Cooking Up. I dunno, maybe the record wasn't what I expected, and I needed a song to really capture me before I could dive deeper... Anyways, I listened to the record several times, and I definitely enjoyed the early songs more after hearing track seven.
I definitely didn't like Blue Collar Anthem (track 5) the first listen, but after hearing the whole record once, I think I just understood where he was coming from better. There is a growing demographic of rappers that in my opinion is so heavily influenced by Kanye to the point that they are lost in his sound and not really themselves yet (despite how much they claim to be "original" or "trend-setters"), and I was pleased that Blctxt wasn't in that rut. His rhymes are loaded with challenging ideas, yet remain pleasant and comfortable. 
holla!
