The more I've listened the more I agree. I actually think it's one of the doper songs that WSG and Conway have done with Alc on the beats, and I'm still trying to get a solid confirmation, but I'm 90% sure it's a joint they had in the stash that got thrown on here because the sample fit, and I don't think it was recorded with the intention of being placed on this project. It's so out of place that it almost does a disservice to the Twins track afterwards, because it pulls you so hard out of the yacht/luxury vibe that when Twins goes back in on it it feels weird. Then suddenly you're in the outro and the project is over. Definitely a strange way to end things...
How do you feel about the El Camino feature? He was long overdue for a Alc placement, I liked his verse he needs a similar push like Benny got before TT3

Coulda did without big body,hall n nash and meyhem on it.



Keep the beats :whoa:


Spitta coulda replaced big body on it.

Beats wise i think big twinz had the best one but willie had the best verse,took the edge compared to roc.

Had some highs n lows but it was solid.

Wish spitta blu and left lane didion was on it though.

Meyhem Lauren dropped one of worst verses of all time. Was this dude really in the booth yelling turn it up?

I dig it. I thought it vibed pretty well. I'm unsure of where I stand with Camino. I like him but I think he might be doper than I'm giving him credit for. I think he's got really dope hooks. I'm a little confused about his status? His first release was released officially as a Griselda release, but now his stuff isn't?

I mean right now I don't know if I think he's capable of delivering something like a TT3, but I really need to open up and listen to more of his recent stuff. Out of the dudes that Benny brings around with him to freestyles a lot I think I like Rick Hyde the best.

Cool little EP. Waiting for Al to deliver something with more substance at some point though. Through '18 & '19 thus far, have been giving these little 25 minute EP's. Ready for a true album.
He just recorded a project with Conway last week. Not sure if it’s an EP or full album. EPs and short albums seem to be trendy now days. I like them but I miss some longer projects too.

One of my only issues with this whole new wave. Would like something with a little more substance at some point in the future.
