This is about as hip hop as it gets. You got all the raps, the rap voices, the scratches, dope samples and gold era type hooks, and a hint of some smooth funky type shit that just all makes sense. M-Dot does not shy on the raps, he is just showing you his ability, telling stories, and truly diving into his journey as a student and a master of this game. The features all came to spar and did just that. The production was the perfect dojo for it all, with variety, lots of stereo bumpage, and when the cuts popped up it was perfect. Only thing on this that I could say maybe could’ve been cooked a bit more was some of the hooks, very simple 90’s double it and its done type energy but they werent bad, just did not match the heat the verses were providing. Overall tho, this needs to be played on a special edition boombox with a gold tint at a streetball event sponsoring a cookout. In rotation.
