Project is aggressive. This the king of white rah rah rasp delivering it the way its supposed to be delivered. Whole project got the energy of that one dude we all know who wears all black, smokes mad weed and owns slasher film toys and collectibles. This fight music but with fists, guns, knives and rocket launchers. The beats all keep that gritty energy, but also have some very deep ones sprinkled in there. The raps are here, you got punchlines, some real deep cut political shit, and some straight street shit. This is about as hip hop as it can get. The features all came to bang, and it worked everytime. Honestly Paz can hold is own better than most so the contrast always made it even better when they keep up. For 18 tracks this shit bopped the whole way through and I could loop it endlessly. Easily in rotation, especially in shady whips with tinted windows and them car payment fraud license plates.

9.5/10 – John D.
