@TheDarceKnight bro I didn’t know Covert Coup was ur fav Al produced project. That’s mine as well. I don’t know what Al was thinking when he produced that shyt but it’s another level.

Yeah crazy record. Currensy is not even a crazy dope rapper like that, he just fits the mood perfectly on that production.

fukkin with it pretty heavy on first listen. Has no one mentioned that Quantum Leap is a flip of an all time hip hop classic by Rakim?

Album is alright. Maybe slightly better then Mt. Marci


Stigmata and Quantum Leap the two I like the most

impossible. shyt is WAY better than Mt Marci. Just starting off with Rubber Hand Grip.

 

[spliz]

Oh yea. I’m surprised more people ain’t talkin bout Rubber Hand Grip. That shyt is insane.

This definitely a headphones album. Two spins today (one headphones and one car) and I'ma try and let it rest until the official release date.

I'd say I listen to 90% of my music while I'm driving, and so I think the albums with Boldy, Currensy, etc are a little easier on the ears and smooth when driving. This production is really dense, but also not as left field as I was expecting (and that's a good thing). I was nervous after Deja Vu single, which is the weakest joint on here. They both could have gone weirder on this but I like that they chose not to

Dense lyrics and wordplay. Roc sounds cleaner here than the last album. The fronts he's got in his mouth don't sound as abrasive. I don't like this as much as Reloaded, Marcberg, or Dark Horse, but I can see this being in my top 5 Roc albums alongside Marcielago.

There are more drums on here than I was expecting but still a little less than I’d like… But I got to give that up. it’s Roc

Favorite joints off 2 spins. No particular order.

Quantum Leap
Zig Zag Zig
Trillion Cut
Zip Guns
Rubber Hand Grip
Daddy Kane
Bubble Bath
JJ Flash
Title Track

Marci!
