This album was done after verzus, but Dmx announced a new album with swizz back in 2015, so there's definitely way more in the vault.
Album is solid I liked how it was only ten tracks there’s def some misses but a lot better then I expected and I think Dmx made some dope tracks.
Hood blues(Dmx sounded bad on here but griselda held it down) to take control to walking in the rain (back to back to back)

The intro is fire

They can keep that Jadakiss verse vaulted for bath salts. Give us a ja rule verse tho!
It has some cool moments but overall a huge let down imo, seems to me like it was way more unfinished than what everyone was saying. Even the good tracks have stuff to be critical about. His voice is nothing like it once was, theres maybe 12 or 13 X verses and he phones in 85% of those. Maybe it will grow on me more but after 2 front to back play throughs im viewing it as 4 good songs that still have critiques that can be said about them, a couple ok tracks that have some decent elements to them but overall miss the mark and the rest is just not very good imo.

This is conflicting because I want to like the album.
There's too much Swizz on this album.... I wish X coulda worked with Dame Grease or PK a little more when he was alive. I hate the recycled songs of sorts.... even the Moneybagg Yo song is kinda like that.... the Bono joint is nice, but feels forced.....
hell the verses on Bath Salts are fine, but it just feels recycled. I hate seeing old verses being copied and pasted together. And honestly, Bath Salts sounded a whole lot better live than it does on the album. Just bothers me....
Griselda song was nice, but it fit any of their albums more than X's.
Like I wish there was more X and less everyone else. I'll take the AKeys joint, skits, Snoop joint, Usher joint, Walking in the Rain, and that's about it.

Can someone explain to me why the outro has 3 credited producers but no beat? They just wanna promote it as Kanye being one of the producers?

X talked a good number of times about a track called "pain". But didnt make on this album, probably because its produced by divinebars or for a later album. Divinebars probably have some tracks under him, i would say. The T.I feature, i think it's not from him but hitmaka.

Anyone think X's verse from skyscraper could've been meant for letter to my son?

The pop smoke project changed the game. Vocals clear, production on point and perfectly mixed. No reason in this era to have poorly mixed songs anymore

It's cause 50 was overseeing it. Hate him all you want but he knows what kinda treatment a legends album needs.
