This project is 97% confidence. Confidence isnt a bad thing and honestly I can appreciate the fact that he is putting his all into it. That being said that does not excuse the unpracticed nuances that this lays on quite heavy. He lives and dies by the same flow and honestly there isn’t much setup or intricacies to his flows and content. Hes mixing up some wild punchlines, some hit or miss, with some nostalgia, some shock value and honestly he doesn’t let up and lets them rip with no rhyme or reason. The production follows whatever he was feeling and tho theres variety, there’s nothing that really ties it all together. Features were solid and added some necessary contrast, to emphasize sometimes that less is more. The mix on his vocals starts to get to you too after some time. Again it’s not awful but its not the most pleasing either after some time. If he can keep this energy and just up the focus and skill, he will be bodying tracks in no time.
