Sounded a bit too modern for my taste in my first listen (still haven’t heard the last song). I’ll still give it a few more listens since it’s Griselda.

Con rapping it’s mid kinda boring just a collection of tracks with weird sequencing but that’s what these nikkas do flood the streets. It’s nothing for them to cook up a project. He got some modern sounding trap shyt, some 2000’s type Just Blaze shyt, and some 90’s boom bap sounding shyt

Luda and J.I.D. (can’t fukk with this fake Kendrick) features caught me off guard

Benny project with Fraud was way better to me and LuLu was nice and concise...

Elcamino is good on the hooks man I need me an Anti-Gun violence hoodie

Get that stream paper Con :salute:

Y’all need to move on :dead:
The thing too is that he made this just to flex and try things out. @mobbinfms is my homie, and I get what he means. But there’s a lot of stuff coming with Alchemist, Daringer, Pete Rock, etc. I think Conway is even dropping full projects down the road with 9th Wonder and Statik.

There’s been a string of modern sounding projects in the past 6 months, but there’s so much on deck to keep fans of modern and boom bap happy.

How do mfs not get tired of the same boom bap loops :mindblown:

The way they flood the market with releases putting out 8 boom bap projects a year, year after year, isn’t sustainable.

I’m sure they as MC’s get tired of the same shyt and want to try different flows, tempos, pockets, sounds.

They not like boom bap heads they like other types of hip-hop too.

Agreed. But weirdly enough 18 months ago I would’ve told you the exact opposite. I thought Benny was the one that sounded better on more commercial beats. But now it’s flip flopped.
I disagree. Benny is clearly the star out of Griselda. Conway is grimy as hell but his shyt doesn’t resonate as much.
