Fruits of the spirit is the best song. Could’ve used another verse. I wonder why he left Jayz off it:patrice:

Jayz was probably scared to jump on it once he heard the verse :manny:

Are the stand out cuts

Jay Ele sounds great doing his thing and Jay Z steeping into that world is great too

Honestly the only thing to complain is maybe outside perception? Theres gonna be people focus on Hov and say hes bodying eveything even though their verses mesh well and everything that comes with it Or they some people that know this was waited for ages and got things in their mind to hate on it (Not sure what beats people think are trash completely here)

Overall a good album, you could probably wish it was just Jay Electronica but its cool as a collabo album

Flux Capacitor is a wild song beat wise, the end of the joint with Rihanna sample crazy

I like the album already and I know it's going to grow on me. JE did his thing. HOV killed a couple his verses but he didn't need to be on all of them. JE delivered.

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

This right here.

If you got it, you got it. This dude is a visionary. He knows where he wants to take his music and he's always stayed true to his lane and the content he's crafted. Been waiting on this project since like '05, and he didn't disappoint. This was well worth the wait. And I like how they slid Hov in there too. He sounds refreshed on this. Almost like building with Jay Elect brought the best out of him. Really dope album, and I think people will appreciate it more as time goes on and they get more listens in.

gonna be lot of opinion on this

tbh these last few years jay has been putting in work from the 444 album and the carters album plus some of the random features here n there , the spot light will probably be on jigga for the most part

Which is both deserved and a shame because while I can get why Jay's verses will standout to people on familarity, Electronica is right here matching him imo ans still running point on this album
