For someone who probably gets endless compliments from females on his eyebrows, he really has a gritty late 90’s street bag that he can tap into whenever. This album felt like a modern take on something that would have been a classic then, and honestly could be considered one now. I say modern as far as mix, sonics and such. This duo might be one to look out for, the chemistry between the MC and production raised everything to such a high level that this has zero skips. Its got variety, it’s got street heaters, it’s got smooth R&B mixed club type shit, and he never holds back on the raps. Hes talking struggle, flash, his past, his pain, his success honestly it’s a complete album. Throw this on for an experience. The features absolutely showed the fuck out. In rotation.
