This woke rap for white folks who don’t necessarily like woke rap. This highkey sounds like that sweet spot album before a rapper eventually goes full alternative or non rap genre. He hits everything he was putting down. From the very deep and dope subject matter to the absolutely free spirited structure of the songs genre bending effortlessly but still keeping a theme and tone. Top tier production, subject matter, pacing, sonics, atmosphere, penmanship, structure and even the features went crazy. This is damn near a perfect 9 piece for people who are fans or absolute newcomers. Listen to this.
