It's worth pointing out again, while recording The Glass Should Be Full, Cambridge hip-hop artist Elemental Zazen lost a family member, suffered from a brain tumor and lost everything when his house burned down. These tragedies turned a planned album of political protest into the album as it stands—clean as a surgical scalpel and just as sharp. The political aspect is still very much present, but it's accompanied by more introspective tracks. The Glass is what a nervous system would sound like if you plugged it into an amp.
