Background
A departure from Uncontrolled Substance'''s darker, soul-inspired sound, The Movement is more upbeat and expressive. According to Inspectah Deck, "Uncontrolled Substance was just me as an ill lyricist wanting to put an album out. I just wanted to be heard. The Movement'' is like is me behind the scenes, behind everything. I'm doing … everything. All the credits got Inspectah Deck on it this time. I was able to put my soul into it".
