Def could've been longer than 30 minutes but wit that being said none of these tracks are skip material...press play and let the album roll. Wouldn't have hurt to add more features but u gotta respect that he chose his best tracks. Quality >>> quantity. 8/10 and a MUCH better album than get home safely. This album shouldn't disappoint real fans of Dom

I fukks with this heavy. If course, it'll not The Yellow Album but there's always going to that one "Illmatic" among an artist's discography.

Dom Kennedy gave me what I asked for. Nothing commercialized, some smooth grooves for the whip with no filler. I like the fact it's lean, I feel like Get Home Safely had too much meat and therefore dragged at the tail end, but a quick nitpick is I wish it was longer, but that's only me wanting more...

at least bonic reverted from being a wack ass hov copycat long enough not to fukk up the vibe



this was what i was afraid of hearing when i saw his name on the tracklist

dude should've put on warm brew if he was gonna only have one feature

:dead: i never even heard that song

but he did do his thing on fried lobster so i cant complain

i wonder how these two linked? it seems random as hell

Damn, reading y'all mixed reviews got me conflicted. I'm out until I give this a listen, but I agree, get home wasn't seeing yellow album, but then again basically nothing is, that album may be top 5 for me.

This not being on spotify is making me reconsider them being number one in this online streaming game. :francis: If Apple crushes the buildings with their app I'm jumping ship :francis:
