(Redirected from What's Next (Leaders of the New School song))

T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye) is the second and final studio album by Long Island hip hop group Leaders of the New School, released on October 12, 1993, by Elektra Records. This effort didn't fare as well as their debut album, A Future Without a Past..., garnering a mixed reception. After the album's release, the group began having both creative and personal problems, resulting in their disbandment. Singles from the album include "Time Will Tell", "Classic Material", and "What's Next", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart.

The Source critic dream hampton called the album "a rarity in hip-hop—a sophomore album that is better than the debut", further stating, "you can't help waiting for Busta to get on the mic."[3] Stanton Swihart of AllMusic described it as "an endlessly interesting listen", concluding that "T.I.M.E. is a much more mature work, both musically and lyrically" than A Future Without a Past....[1]
