Project sounds like it was only recorded on cassette and then got imported to all streaming. Lowkey part of its charm. This is a time machine project that might be an acquired taste if you are a quality snob, or under the age of like 28. To get the full effect of this project, listen to this while playing the Tony Hawks remaster. Its solid, all the raps, dope loops and its very straight to the point. Sometimes the quality would hit me wrong and it would make some parts of it kinda drag, or the beats werent the best but its far from bad. My biggest issue was sometimes the old school flows were just coming at me as words and I wasnt absorbing any of it. Overall super solid though I was bopping but I wasnt committing to it. In rotation.
