rocky was never a great lyricist but the rapping on this album is TRASH. he used to get by on charisma but he sounds bored now.

also sounds like he's been hanging around frank ocean and dean blunt but he doesn't have the vision or talent that they do

I really like the production on this album

Always his strongest point. Just relistened to that outro. I really like rapping frank and he pairs well with Rocky.

Gonna relisten to this soon. I only remember liking distorted records, fukk sleep, outtro, praise the lord and og beeper.

Listening to kids turned out fine and shyt is so different. Rocky is still far more creative than most of his peers. I hope he continues doing his own thing with his sound

Him producing most of this is really interesting. I hope that instrumental album still drops

This is his best work behind Live Love.
The sonic experiment
The flows
The diversity in the beats
Skepta
:ohlawd:

I listen to this front to back.

this album really did get lost in the Drake/Pusha shyt and nobody cared.
i haven't seen one "A year ago today..." seen plenty for Daytona and the Duppy Freestyle though.
It also wasn't that good lyrically so that's part of it lol. If it had some actual lyrics the album would have got more attention and notoriety.
