I need to listen again but on first playthru I feel mixed. There are standout tracks but overall the project feels very same-y. From the flow to the abrasive delivery to the beats...it kinda just blends together.

It's not wack just...eh. I'm gonna listen a few more times before final verdict tho.

After a full week of listening, I'll say Nip did his thing. Best track to me is Young nikka, was wondering if Diddy was gonna have a verse but the adlibs were excellent as Nipsey laced it w vivid imagery.... damn. Millions While You Young is 2nd, followed by Blue Laces 2. Least favorite track beatwise is Hussle & Motivate and he still spitting real on it too.

Overall, a solid 4/5 for me.

It's a solid album, but I agree. I think this is because it's just a little bit too long. Needed to be 2-4 tracks shorter. But I'm not going to be picky, this is pretty damn good for a debut hip-hop album coming out on a major label in 2018.

An album is more than the quality of the music, I think there’s other things involved. Sample limitations, Billboard considerations, promotion, label pressures etc. All of these things we’ve seen effect albums in a negative way, where they have little effect on a mixtape.
