Is it like UN Roc?Off 2 listens.
I like 5/7 of these a lot. I do wish it was like 2-3 songs more. A solid 10-piece here would’ve been great.
On the other hand. It’s free and they did say it was only an EP from the jump.
I think this will be a devicive project. One thing that’s good and bad about Roc doing drumless is sometimes he does these crazy flows where he stuffs a ton of words into the pocket. It can be real dope but other times I don’t like it as much (Cryotherapy is a good example of this). The drums on this album are very conventional, and IMO they kind of force Roc to stay in certain pockets and flows that I like.
The big complaint some folks will have on that is that the production might sound dated here and there.
- The rapping on Glory Hole is insane.
- Armani Section’s been fire since I heard it earlier this year.
- Good to Go is super hard. Some super funny adlibs too. Slower flow reminiscent of older Roc.
- Execution Style sounds like Preem doing more of a Roc style beat.
- Travel Fox is real smooth. I miss Roc doing these mid-tempo flows. That’s a good part of this album
- RocMarkable and Prayer Hands might have to grow on me a little bit.
Nah definitely not that old school soundingIs it like UN Roc?![]()
It’s out anywhere where it’s already Friday. And eastern time zone it’s out in 45 minsWas saving this for a light night drive tonight , shyt already out?
Nah definitely not that old school sounding
In fairness to them they set the expectations for this a while back. Bit on the other hand there wasn’t much press either.I didn't realise this was only an EP, 19 minutes is wild.
Premo is the type of producer where I really don't want much experimentation
His core sound is so iconic and raw that I prefer his beats like RocMarkable over Glory Hole... But I also like when Roc does weird flows like this
Glad we got this anyways, there's definitely some good shyt on here
