Seattle or Naomi might be my favorite after one spin. The production on this is immaculate.

"Professionally accept what ethically, I hate
So in all of my work, you see this wrestling with fate
conceiving in the brush strokes how aggressively I strafe
Less like putting on some makeup, more like severing a face...
Wow, said the patron with a smile
That's the most interesting diatribe I've heard in a while
How you articulated the nature, and put it all on trial
Took it up to heaven, then put it on the ground
The painter asked the patron, can you stand upon the pile?
I've had a flash of inspiration, my creativeness aroused
The model took its place, the painter grabbed the lighter
Doused the shyt in gasoline and set it all on fire"

Sound bite from the end of Seattle, guessing he helped run things with Lupe's father:
This is incredible
I'm watching his pops talk about his fully automatic blowgun after showing off on the bag pipe.
I'm not being ungrateful or anything but my man does have another album in the tuck right. Hard to believe he didn't make this while on break from something else lol.
Can't wait to listen in the morning.

Yes, this was just an exercise that turned into an actual album. He was working on the Samurai EP until he hit writer's block or something. Hopefully, how fast he was able to knock out DMIZ motivates him to get back to that.
The thing I love about the album is he’s playing alot with the theme of labels using these rappers as slaves pushing drill shyt and rappers themselves being trapped between appealing to the masses with drill or pushing to be more than that. As one of the greats that ever did it, young nikkas need to listen to this from a person who paved a different path for himself by sticking to mastering the artform and not hanging for these labels who don’t give af about you.
Or as he says in Naomi
“Even Christ took a knife for the team…..so swing”
Can’t be clearer than that
