This got allot of top tier shit on it. This the product of a top tier production and a top tier emcee. Then you have elite features. You can’t go wrong with this. This got some of the most soulful beats just under all the fucking raps. When I say all the raps I mean it, punchlines, food, medicine, personal stories, New York shit, all of it. This is how you put out an album, you got full songs, hooks 3 verses and dope pacing. The ups and downs as far as emotion and sonics works, homie narrating gives it that extra album feel. What’s crazy is rappers all want an album close to one like this and this feels like Joell dropped this from his like backlog effortlessly. Throw this on if you a golden era fan, love battle rap, keep your car clean, and believe fighting over shooting to settle shit like a man, but shooting when its time to protect what’s yours. In rotation.
