Ill actually listen through and give a proper review.
I dont expect the best mixed and mastered shyt but the first two tracks 'rakim' and 'due the most' i struggled woth the sound didnt although by second listen i was feeling 'rakim' could be a heavy beat, your flow on both tracks tho makes everything flat, from 1:40 onwards on rakim you start to get busy but the fact that i wanted to review a coli nikkas project is the only reason i listened that far. 'due the most' i didnt like at all, unlike rakim where the beat grew on me and you eventually turned it on that never happened with 'due the most' the beat is meh, the flow isn't interesting and your bot amazing lyrically.
'Truly' is a very decent record, the beat is good and it sounds much better produced than the first two tracks, you come in well on the track, the first quarter to the fiest half of the second verse is good, similar problems tho, the flow is an issue, after listening to the first two tracks it sounds the same and still isnt engaging. I think you need to learn to use your voice more, go out of your comfort zone in how you vocalise stuff, stuff like that isnt a problem if your some complete lyrical assassin but your not there yet so i think you need to do more. Theres a lack of personality in how you rhyme, i dont get much personality oozing out your rhynes and if thats the case then im expecting your bars and flow to blow me away.
'Sinai Rhymes', Like the last not a bad track, second verse is good, beat is good, your voice and flow is still the major major weakness here and either this track or truly before should have had a proper hook
'Payback 2020' - ok, beat is decent its filler tho, if this was like a mainstream rapper tho i would have stopped listening to the project ny now, the flow, your voice, personality and presence on the track seem like they are gonna be recurring themes of weakness so far.
'Got a plot' - beat is beautiful but is probably too loud in compared to your voice slightly, this is your type of beat tho, i think it compliments your voice, this is actually a good track, the hook is good and the feature verse is a standout, her voice and flow rides the beat so well, to the point where like i said she dont have to drop a great verse lyrically.
'Dreamcatchers' Just like the last this beat is a much better fit for the way you sound when you rap, same goes for 'you know who you are' These type songs showcase the best of you.
'Stop the show' - When i first heard the beat at the beginning i thought he gonna struggle on this beat and it was the case in the verse. Your voice and rapping on this whole project so far is like listening to someone speak for a long time bareky changing tone, then you went into the hook which is norr of the type of shyt you should be trying out. The hook had me perked up again and but by the end of the second verse i was flat again.
'Take it' - Same sort of issues as the whole project. Would have been a giid track if you had a better hook aswell. Your would have benefitted from a few more featured verses and getting people in or just focusing more on the hooks.
'Change' - Outro suffers from the same thing and is thrrefore fitting, sums about the project. Good beat that is let down by the way you approached it or the way you rap, like you spent alot of time on this project emphasising and dragging the last syllables of your bars, it sounds boring, lazy and uncreative
In conclusion i wouldn't call it pure hot trash or nothing like that, but would i listen to it? No. Your decent with the bars but nothing special and the way you rap exposes that. I would listen to the feature on got a plot again thio.

I'm not too caught up in dropping a million pop culture punchlines in my verses, I write to make my point(s) clear and with more of a proclivity for turn of phrase and entendres than punchlines. Not for everybody but again I think my lyrics are definitely my strong point.
