Need to peep stil. I'm assuming Gunn's latest was better? The single with Boldy was mid to me, beat was boring. I heard the $ & Power song and that was dope, vintage Griselda

the production on this project is subpar IMO.
That's been the issue since Tana Talk 4. It's weird because for a long time it seemed like Benny was super careful about the production he picked. For a long time it was Just Daringer, Alc, and Hit-Boy, and he really let the 3 of those guys steer the ship with the beat choices. He seems to use a lot more generic sounding production on more recent projects like this, Summertime Butch, Stabbed Shot 2, and Pyrex Picasso.

Yea Benny's problem the last few years has def been production quality (same with Conway).


Gunn routinely crafts dope projects b/c he has a great ear for beats, and the production helps carry b/c he's not gifted on the mic.

The Only joint on here that I like is the Single With Boldy.

I'm glad Boldy dropped again because this isn't it.

Benny and Conway need to stop thinking they’re bigger than the program and just let Gunn curate their projects
