But Only After You Have Suffered is all over the place, and that is intended as a compliment of the highest order. Just as Jamire Williams — who's drumming and production credits include Lonnie Smith, Jeff Parker and Solange, respectively — is better described as an artist than a drummer or producer (or, for that matter, rapper), But Only After You Have Suffered is less of a direct jazz and/or hip hop album than it is a sound collage. There's a gloomy, almost somber mood that permeates the both sides of the LP, yet nearly every thing else about the album comes and goes in an ethereal state. Songs begin in one place, and end somewhere wholly different. Rapping gives way to spoken word deliveries which in turn give way to hymnals and sermons; drums melt into ambience, guitars fade into drones. It's out there, spectacularly so. It is absolutely another W for the winningest label in the biz.
