I'll have to disagree...East new age and he has one of the best flows in the game. He doesn't sound out of place on shyt like that...

Phone Jumping
Maneuver
Dirty Little Secret

That's all I got...This doesn't have the standouts the previous one had like...

Don't Shoot
Can't Ignore

I would love to see this nikka rocking on some of Rozay & Travis Scott's beats

He does really well on the soulful signature NY sounding beats but he does fare pretty well on trap beats, I gotta agree. His flow on A$AP Ferg's Olympian is really dope.

I'm fukking with this off the first listen, it's a cool EP to keep fans happy until the album drops. Disappointed in that Nas "feature" though.

Side note this seems to be getting a lot more attention than Ferg. I didn't even know Ferg was dropping until a couple days ago and I copped his last two albums.

Dave East is one of those rappers I want to like but I'm just not into anything he puts out

:yeshrug:In 2017 Illmatic & Reasonable Doubt would have been mixtapes. Then followed up by a is this a Album or mixtape IWW & Vol 1.

Vol 2 & I Am would been their debut albums:mjlol:

These cats gotta stop putting out full tapes imo. It's doing more harm than good imo


That's totally false

Nas had Pre-Illmatic and hundreds of songs before Illmatic dropped
Jay - Z had songs with Jaz-O and hundreds of songs before Reasonable Doubt dropped

Only difference is that nowadays, artists are using throwaway/unreleased songs and making it a mixtape. Not a bad way to promote yourself IMO :manny:

Good but not great., KC was definitely better. The skits he needs to dead that, I didn't even listen past the first 40 seconds. There's nothing that really says standout unless Have You Ever gains some traction. The songs for women could be better, My Dirty Little Secrey is decent. Perfect is bad, such a piss poor hook by Chris Brown :hhh:

I thought EP's were 4-5 tracks. This is a full length project.

It worked for Drake, Cole and Sean.
