This project goes hard. You got dusty musty boom bap from front to back. All the ashy raps and stank breath bars to go with it. Every beat on here was fun, had bop, with extra chunks of that rap shit we love. Then the raps was just punches in bunches, with haymakers mixed in, and him just talking that gritty grimy stuff he likes and wanted to talk about. That rap stuff. Its very hip hop, hes clearly a student who grew up has kids maybe even a mortgage and a hate for the holidays. It all works. Features were fun, hooks were hear, pacing is here and these are some complete tracks all about 3 minutes. Full complete album. No complaints. In rotation.
