That fukkin intro man:scust:just disgusting the most bangin intro I’ve heard in a minute just straight out the gate with the first track! Boldy really moved on up the last couple years. I went from not caring to listen to this guy to him being one of my favourites. Salute to one of the goats alchemist:salute:

This shyt is hard. I think Boldy had some more standout bars on Price of Tea but he unlocked some new flows on this. Breh was slow dancing with a handful off ass on on Diamond Dallas :wow:

Alc though :wow:

Gotta crown him at this point. Although I respect a lot of other legends Alcs volume is just outrageous man. And he keeps getting better too. Beats are getting more layered and the drums on this shyt was crisp in a way I never noticed before :ohhh:

Only criticism I got was 3rd person was too hard to not have as the last track. I don't know if this was a deluxe edition situation but First 48 and Drug Zone could have been in the middle somewhere.

This is gonna get overshadowed by KD2 but it's sounding really good. Almost wished they would have pushed it back a bit. Nobody raps about the drug game like Boldy. He don't leave no details out.

Surprised to see people downplaying Benny's verse because it sounded fine to me. But Earl sounds straight up drunk on his verse :dwillhuh: Is that just how he sounds now?

“Threw me a ki for a feature. He want me to rap in Spanish”

:wow:


This nikka be saying some fly shyt. It’s almost like 96 jay. Every bar has something that makes me smirk

The way he doesn't put any weight on the bars when you pay attention he be saying some hilarious shyt

"On two separate different occasions I was grazed twice :blessed:
Wish I could say the same for him. He couldn't catch a break :mjcry:
He hesitated and now that nikka is in a better place :umad:"

I didn't really like Some Rap Songs and haven't heard much since then, but what I have heard from Earl since then does sound kind of similar to this. I thought he sounded better earlier in the verse and then sounded more tipsy as it went on.

This is fukkin amazing. Stuck on Steel Wool right now but Diamond Dallas shiiiiit this whole thing just flows.
I'm not saying this is as good as Bandana. But damn if there aren't a lot of similarities. Bandana was the last album before this that I've played on shuffle this much in 24 hours. Just picking random joint after random joint. it still flows as an album, but I don't do this with many albums. I almost always listen to albums front to back, but with Bandana I always have just as much fun listening to random joints in no particular order. I'm doing the same thing with Bo Jackson.

I've found a lot of other similarities with Bandana too, but I don't want to go on and on. Apparently Boldy and Alc wanna do at least 3 albums like MadGibbs too (not counting their first one in 2013) so there is at least one more of these albums from them coming down the pipe.

No doubt. 3rd Person definitely had a closer vibe. I'll try and make this not complex, but the official last song of the album is First 48. Drug Zone is a digital bonus track, but it's also not a deluxe situation. There will be a deluxe edition with a few extra songs. But officially First 48 is on the OG edition of the album, and I guess Drug Zone is too if you got the album on a streaming service. Vinyl/CD/cassette versions of the original album edition won't have Drug Zone on them.
