I will say if you ever listened to his catalogue theres always a voice in your head making you wonder what he would sound like on a project of just hard beats. He usually has like 2-3 of these per release, so having a whole project of these hits. Just uniquely aggressively dark back to back beats. He’s doing his thing but with slightly less big words but does not sacrifice his inflection, flows and delivery. Talking nice, slick stories, great pacing and full ass tracks. You cannot go wrong with this as a hip hop fan. Bass slines, crispy drums, fun samples and they all work well together. All I could say this could have used but didnt need was some killer features. 2 full releases from him this year, we did not deserve this. In rotation.
