Project is one of those ones. This a complete hip-hop album in all aspects. Its got everything but some scary Griselda type shit and some fast chopping-type track but honestly his style don’t need it. He did way more than enough on here from content to flows to variety. To start, this some of the most unique, most refreshing, sonically pleasing, and honestly just some of the best production you will hear come out this era. The quality, the pacing, all of it makes sense. Then hes sliding on it, his calm cadence but smooth delivery never gets old and fits all of the variety of sounds. The features were here for contrast and most of them truly over-showed up and showed out. To really let this hit more the instrumentals at the end to truly show how dope the beats are is a chefs kiss. This one of those ones for the year for sure. In rotation, and do yourself a favor and listen to this in your car, good headphones or on a sound system.
