You can hear the MIKE influence all over SRS so this is a perfect companion piece. MIKE 4/4 this year

 

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

Only song that doesnt fit the album is Eclipse.. he shouldn't have rapped over that beat (though the beat is a perfect representation of his mindstate when making this album)

This album is in my Top 5 for the year

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Great album

 

[Burned Verses]

Earl's ugly ass need to put these songs on wax.

Fire album and a bold album for him to release too, reminds me of when I first heard Marcberg 8 years ago which also has that lonely lofi recorded on a MacBook in the basement feel to it.. I’m surprised he even released this as this style of rap turns off a lot of people, and its not the kind of music that you would expect to listen to at a festival or a concert..

Eclipse was wild even for me when I first heard it, but I listened again focusing on the lyrics and the tone of his lyrics and now it’s my favorite track on the album, The Mint is fire too but I liked that one instantly.. i got this one just above everything is love as the album of the year for me, I want to see how he performs this joint live..

Got a blunt rolled to listen to this again. I recently played the album when I was out in Baltimore and faced a blunt and it's definitely an experience.

Perfect amount of bars to keep looping and not feel repetitive same with the album as a whole, i keep this shyt on shuffle/repeat for entire days sometimes

Sage snapped on the production tip with the couple of tracks he did. Azucar brings a tear to my eye

My cushion was a bosom on bad days. There's not a black woman I cant thank. You called crying when I told you these the last days, I saw mine.

My state live, fissions n fires

Produced by Adé Hakim. Same dude who did Nowhere2go. I'm not sure why this version didn't make the album. Still trynna figure out the sample myself.

I still play it. Somebody needs to make a short film with this as the soundtrack. A long ass music video or something would be amazing
