This is how you absolutely put everything into every single rap. The fact that the content, the intricate flows, bounce, cohesiveness, and sauce in his raps are so consistent is a very scary thing. This is someone going into that blackout, super saiyan bag but for an entire project. It doesn’t matter what the production was doing, he was pouring it all out. The production bounces from some lullaby smooth tracks, to some cool trap, to some boom bap, to some sad boy shit but blended perfectly like it was intentional and sticks to the atmosphere of this project like a movie soundtrack tracing each scene. All of this works, and big shout out to homegirl just beautifully humming on this adding that garnish. Only one small maybe overlooked issue was the mix on track 2’s hook that hook and track goes but the mix on the hook makes it harsh. Other than that you have a work of art to just dive into. I would love to call it his masterpiece but I don’t think he’s there yet and that hold allot of weight. In heavy rotation.
