Project is a good time. It gave me old school cassette heat type feel front to back. The production was a good time, gave them more than enough to put together some gospel. Then you have Mickey just rapping like his family is held hostage, and then you have Blu just sliding on this one. The chemistry is here, and then to top it off you have all the features just adding in the right amount of love to make this a short but complete thought, like a hip hop daydream. Pacing is dope, content and raps are here plenty. If this project was a few songs longer this would’ve been powerful enough to start a new breed of rappers wearing fake glasses to look and sound intelligent. As much as I wanted more, I am glad I got this in general. In rotation.

9/10 – John D.
