I like V Dons production although not sure I’ve heard a full project of his, He have anything worth peeping? Him & Boldy should be a good link up.

I liked the Real Bad Man & Boldy Projects I’m just not the biggest fan of how the producer/s (it’s a team right? I thought I was one dude initially) seems to flip a lot of well known samples, Couple Wu joints I can’t think rn I know he flipped Cream though.

I’m usually not a great fan on Craven production either so I definitely hear you on that. This is pleasantly surprising though, Hoping we get more joints like Power Nap in the future

if you're fan of Dark Lo he got some projects with V Don thats dope

Yeah you gotta check the stuff with Willie The Kid, the one he had with Eto "Omerta" was great too

So. Much. Music

It’s an insane amount of music, and not just random shyt, but actual quality centered acts. Boldy, Rome Streetz, Prodigy, Planet Asia, two different Ka albums recently dropped, Bronze Nazareth, Freddie Gibbs, then you have stuff like YG, Drakeo The Ruler, and Big30. Streaming is great and awful. Great cause of unbelievable convenience, awful cause it can be overwhelming and for you to truly enjoy the releases, you basically have to fall behind and play catch-up before another 16 albums come out the following week

Ran back a lot of this last night while watching Thursday Night Football. Lot of shyt I like about this project. Boldy is on point again, damn near every verse and line hits. If I have a criticism it's moreso on the production side. Nicholas Craven is very hit and miss to me because 99% of his shyt is just loops. So if it's a dope loop it's cool, if the sample isn't cool it gets boring quick. So for instance Town And Country is one of the best things I've heard this year lol, shyt is fukking amazing. And then right after that you get Scrabble which isn't a bad song but the sample is kind of boring so yea. There are more hits than misses on here beat wise but it def makes me miss more dynamic shyt like Alchemist, Navy Blue, Moor Mother, and some of the other producers who are doing this shyt.

Overall I'm def fukking with the album overall. Boldy has yet to miss for me. The project he did with Real Bad Man earlier this year is good too.
