Probably his best effort in a while. I fuk with it. Typical Dom Kennedy album minus the undeniable slappers.

Still Grind'n and Don't Walk Away were strong tracks to start the album off with then Don't Run and Valet came on and I started feel like he was just rambling. It's like he freestyled some shyt and slapped a title on that bytch afterwards. Even on Dom's shyttalking/braggadocio records, he still has a concept and a catchy hook to tie everything together (i.e. I Love Dom, Platinum Chanel, etc) but I didn't get that with a lot of these tracks. I went back and listened to Valet and that grew on me, despite that. LAX and The Other Side is where the album starts to pick up though. Now THIS sounds like vintage Dom. Fasho would've heard something like that on 25th Hour or Future Sounds. The Love You More (Outro) is smooth as butter. Every other track I didn't name was just filler to me.

Yeah, this ain't the classic "From The Westside With Love" quality that you would expect but it's a cool project. Definitely an improvement from "Best After Bobby 2," which I still got PTSD from, lol. He's still lacking that 100% confidence in his delivery but there's glimpses of the old Dom there. He's moving in the right direction.

Bout to see what that Offset Jim and Payroll talkin about now
