Who produced 'Universal Soldier' shyt is incredible

jay elec produced that song and the majority of the album.

 

[Dolo]

That Rihanna sample on Flux Capacitor

 

[Ziggiy]

I was ready to be mad that old ass Shiny Suit Theory was on the album but its still such a dope joint I ain’t even mad at it.

Album is very dope. No its not the second coming of Illmatic but its a miracle in and of itself that such a lyrically dense and spiritually minded album is getting the red carpet treatment in 2020.

joint is light, like a 6 or 7/10 or so

his other material is so much better

And I am a super Stan who has listened to all of that stuff

still dope to have a real project and I’ll be listening more for sure

 

[Peter Parker]

On my 3rd listen, fire album but I was really hoping for a solo jay elect effort, beggars can't be choosers though

Still an incredible album on day 1

 

[Cuban Pete]

Debut album at 43 years old, one of the best projects in years Art is art, infinite, timeless

 

[L@CaT]

Some of y’all definitely overrating this album. It’s a decent album but I can tell replay value is going to be low.

For someone who is 45+ year old to now just releasing his debut album, this album needed to be a masterpiece. It’s far from that, therefore a disappointment

 

[GoldenGlove]

How do you wait over a decade to release your first album, and when you do it, you feature Hov on every song? Seems like a complete lack of confidence in one's own abilities. This was decent off 1st listen

[Amerikan Melanin]

The mothership is definitely coming now. He sent the signal.

I love LOVE the fact he kept the cheering kids. That’s such a great sound to have instead of typical adlibs.

 

[Bone$]
