Let’s get the fact out of the way; NF is a dope artist. What I really wanted to hear was difference though, because a lot of his music sounds very similar. If you’re ok with that and just love his sound then you will always be happy, but I like to hear artists really step out of their comfort zones sometimes. Track 5 was a good direction. Aside from that, and rating this project without acknowledging his other work, this is a dope project. The production is fitting, his delivery, cadence, flow, lyrics were all top tier. His features are expected to be fire and they were. Hopsin came out trying to kill everything and did exactly that. If there was a little more variance I think we could’ve gotten at least one diamond, but this is still a very dope project.

9/10 – D
