Project has moments but lost me a couple of times. As much as I appreciate the skits and the message it just was not keeping me up. The tracks were solid overall but when the beats or even the emcee just didn’t have that extra flair it really showed how much it needed it. He’s dope and can rap his ass off, lots of great real content but outside of that he doesn’t mix up his almost preach flow and it can start to lose you and drop you into the beat. When the beat is just smooth it can all lose your attention but when the beat bops the balance is there and keeps your attention. All around very soulful, very real, and great messages, it just could have used a little more flair from both ends more often to really make it sound more “anyone can dive into it” than, “its for a specific audience”. In rotation.
