The Unusual is the second solo studio album by American rapper El Da Sensei.

Production was handled by Fusion Unlimited, Illmind, J. Rawls, 3rd Rell, DJ Revolution, Frequency, Fyre Dept., Jake One, K-Def, Money Mark and Saukrates.

[6] The group developed a fan base of hardcore hip-hoppers, being graffiti artists and hip-hop purists.

[9] The Unusual was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics,[10][11] considering the El Da Sensei's lengthy hiatus.

Steven J. Horowitz of PopMatters resumed that the rapper "manages to present his album with intelligent proportions, and like a fine wine, he will only get better with time".
