Dis album sound like JayZ featuring JayZ with some Jay Electronica mixed in. Still good tho.
His solo debut has Jay Z on every track
I get that they did that because they thought no one would give a shyt about this project without the big name but it’s still not a solo LP
Is only built 4 Cuban linx a Raekwon album?
Formerly known as...
Collector
Caught this on my 2nd listen through.

Anything is possible!This is what I expected and not what I expected at the same time.
I fux with it first off. It's almost like he pulled off the magic track he talked about by making Jay-Z appear on 70% of his debut album.
As far as the bars go - sharp as I expected. Production is as varied as I expected it to be. I liked not knowing what kinda sound they were gonna rock with from song to song, though. Once they got past the whole 'There's no single' of it all - making this must have been way easier to do.
As far as his 'character' goes - he still has that mystique to him. He's the guy from New Orlean who went from being homeless, started rolling with The Nation, made music with Dilla, to having a baby with Badu, to making classic music with Just Blaze, nearly getting signed to Puff, signing with RocNation, to dating a member of one of the world's richest families, to releasing his debut album - 13 years late, in the middle of a pandemic, and it just so happens to feature one of the greatest rappers of all time, who has bought into his wave - whatever his reasoning is. It'swhen you really stop to think about it.
Exactly what I did. Album is a lot better than I remembered too

Yo I guaranteed Jay Z and Jay Electronica was listening to that album and got inspired . Yo I'm 43 and a hip hop head I'm from the era where you give respect when Respect is due this album and Nasir is very similar
I think this album does exactly what it does for me. I never expected an actual release from dude at all. I like it. It's true to his sound even with Hov on most of it
The fact that it's still being billed as a debut with Hov not officially "featured" is a strange choice though. This feels like a WTT sequel
