This one of those ones that just sits with you. First listen I knew it was in my top 5 this year. Before I get into the raps, I want to talk about the production on here, its all incredible, soulful, feels important and honestly its not often especially during these hip hop times that you hear refreshing and unique drum patterns and sounds. Every beat on here could carry one of those study youtubes. Then you have him just talking super nice, conscious, woke, intelligent or whatever you want to call it it doesn’t shy from how extremely hip hop it is. This is a Master class in poetry, cadence, production, quality, love passion and just overall care for his craft. Its one of those ones, and its for everyone.
