It’s better on every listen. I slept on it too. Wanted to like it more than I did. Gave it another shot and it suddenly landed. I honestly think it’s one of the top 5 most slept in underground albums of the past few years. Effortless dark raps with crazy imagery and painted pictures. A different style of production from Alc. Lots of empty spaces but still hard drums, creepy samples, and menacing bass lines. Great features. Good mix of storytelling, introspective, threatening, bragging, and concept joints.Been bumping this like crazy as of late.

I think it’s a darker and murkier, modern day Reasonable Doubt through the eyes of Detroit.
