The album is average to me. Some of the beats were questionable. I respect the direction he was going into. I don't think it was executed correctly. Still a decent album. And some of the features weren't up to par along with some of them reaching out struggle bars. Common u can do better.

"I'm a don/dawn like 6 a.m."

Some really bad rapping on this album.
There were some good lines too...I can't think of any off top though. The bigger issue is the beats and what the fukk happened to his flow?? Someone earlier hit the nail on the head talking about it sounds like he's rapping around the beat as opposed to to the beat.

I gave this two complete listens in the car. On the third listen, I let the first song play, then I skipped to Kingdom. I'm done with this album. It's just flat out bad. I really liked his last one too. Copped it on CD and vinyl.
