Probably a standard version at some point will drop. He hasn't put the CD's up yet either, guessing that and standard vinyl will be posted up soon

It won't be coming anytime soon, Roc has said that streaming money with in a year is sneaker money only
He said he seen profit after first few days of the digital release
He's going to eat good & proper before he decides to release it on streaming platforms.

Some nice, different production (CVS especially) and some interesting loops. But like RR1 I can't help but feel upset about the sound quality. The mixing isn't outright terrible/nigh unlistenable like RR1, but it's very uneven here. Whereas vocals are low on RR1, they're high here, including adlibs. Some tracks have this weird thing where the vocals or vocal sample are just too high and it's like wtf. I can't listen to this on dope headphones. Perfect example: The Sauce.
It's a good song but yo, what's up with the mixing. I'm not an audiophile but jesus...dude out here bragging about art and selling shyt for $30-100 but won't pay for a decent mix.
I just listened to that Crimeapple album and it sounds GOOD. No issues with mixing. I'm listening to the new Black Milk...great mix. Listen to a bit of the Black Panther soundtrack still...great mix.
Don't get me wrong this is a solid album and I love multiple tracks tho.

Threw this on while driving through the snow yesterday. This might be my favorite from his right next to Reloaded.
Happy Endings
Bohemian Grove
Corniche
The Sauce
Kill You
Tent City
Major League
Perfect mixture of dope beats and bars. Lyrically, this maybe Roc's best material to date.

This whole layer of hip-hop has poor mixing, though. I figured it's just part of the aesthetic.

But the mixing on his first two records is fine, and other artists in that lo-fi minimalist loop rap movement tend to have good mixing. Thinking about like Alchemist's shyt for instance, it always sounds cripsy and great. Or Earl Sweatshirt's last album, or any of Ka's projects. IMO there is no excuse for how Roc's shyt sounds. At least I can listen to this album, whereas I threw RR1 out after a few weeks.
I don't want to hear someone brag about their art while not taking care of this. I "know" the engineer/mixer who Roc lowballed for RR1; he passed on the project because Roc wouldn't pay his rate. Dunno who mixed this one. It reminds me of a little over 10 years ago Blu was doing this type of stuff, releasing un-mixed shyt and calling it lo-fi. Nope.
I'm listening on youtube instead of spotify. now he gets now n' later money

It's way better on this one tho. I threw on RR1 in the car last week, and I turned it off (again), because I could't hear half the lyrics. Now I don't have the greatest audio system, but it's decent enough. It's about the bars with Roc Marci, and when I can't hear them I can't really appreciate the production either because they compliment each other. Don't have this problem with RR2.
Was listening to Reloaded as well and my god that album is great, in every aspect.
I rate Pimpire high as well, I don't really even consider it a mixtape. There's nothing 'mixtape' about it, like it way more than Marci Beaucoup.
If we get the Ka, Alchemist and Muggs collabo's at some point, and probably another solo in the future, his catalog could be up there as one of the greatest at some point, especially considering the era it came out.
Edit: What sucks tho is that there won't be any remastered version with the money people spent. If i'd buy a $100 vinyl and that shyt comes out remastered 3 months later, damn.
