I Predict a Riot is the second studio album by American hip hop musician Hezekiah.[1] It was released on Rawkus Records and Soulspazm Records on September 18, 2007. It was the last album released on Rawkus Records, as the label would fold the same year.[2] It features guest appearances from Freeway, Bilal, and Jaguar Wright.[1]
Marisa Brown of AllMusic said, "[Hezekiah's] rhymes and beats are more focused, clearer, and more intelligent than a lot of what else is out there, and he writes well-done, backpacker-friendly songs that are also catchy and memorable."[4] James Mayo of XLR8R described the album as "a record of timeless soul-infused hip-hop."[8] Kevin Jones of Exclaim! commented that "While his flow may feel a little loose at times, Hezekiah surrounds himself with enough vocal heat (Freeway, most notably) to pad out this well-rounded collection of neo-soul survivalist hip-hop."[5] Roman Cooper of HipHopDX stated, "He possesses a rare combination of lyricism, charisma and passion on the mic, backed by an equally impressive musical backdrop."[6]
PopMatters placed it at number 81 on the "101 Hip-Hop Albums of 2007" list.[9]
