When Live on Arrival broke up it was earth shattering but with Collective Efforts it almost makes the breakup bearable. Collective and this album are another phase in Ben's life and although he has grown to a different sound and this is no Live On Arrival, he offers an amazing hiphop group and message. Buy this album and pick up "visions of things to come" and you to will be dedicated to Ben, Jmil, and Bambu.
