In 2022, ten years after his last album release, Plex presents his latest 12-song LP, “Who Am I To Judge.” The album speaks directly about Plex’s struggles with drugs & alcohol, the evolution of hip hop, cultural appropriation, and the state of the planet, while pondering what it may take to fix it. Who Am I To Judge features collaborations with many artists from both the hip hop and Indigenous communities, including Lady Luck, Kryple, Drezus, Touch and Rellik. Most of the production was piloted by Plex, but also includes 3 tracks produced by acclaimed artist & producer, 2oolman.
