It's solid but feel like it's a step down from his last. Dom's flow isn't as sharp on here. You can tell he didn't put as much time in with the pen. And too many of the beats blend in with eachother. Prolly shoulda kept this around 13 tracks. But there's some definite standouts.


Love these

You think so

Easily

none of these beats standout. he was flowing on a good amount of these songs

but the production kinda made it a chore to listen to.

going to give it another listen on my hame from work but its looking like a miss on the production side.

i did think that Emergency beat was interesting. kinda has that club/dancehall feel to it which i dont think weve ever got from dom

so far this might be his weakest produced album
This is sad to hear because 14 of the songs were produced by polyester the saint and that's one of his best producers/collaborators, actually one of the better producers in the west right now.

I'll judge for myself but I was really looking forward to the production :huhldup: i should be able to get to this by the end of the week

I felt like this the best production since GHS lowkey

a little long though

really?

idk nothing caught my attention

to me the production is very average

rap n roll had amazing production. maybe his best produced album
vol. 1 & 2 had amazing production

this was just whatever. but agin like i said earlier imma give it another listen going home today

Dom got one with this :wow:

Would’ve been perfect for the summer but it’ll slide for the fall :banderas:

Gotta spin it a couple more times but I’ve been liking what I’ve heard off the first listen
