Track 2 "AYE!!"

Beat sounds like gorillas sparing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the trunk.

Track 3 "Does That Make Sense"

Another Rick rock heater. 40 is on one lyrically here.

Kayaking into traffic no paddle
smoking on a stick of that gelato
I turn into something, into an animal
hit the highway open up the manifold
i'm just tryna water my grass and make it greener

i'm cool with all the honey badgers and hyenas

First 3 tracks is just 40, and he over delivers, classic Fonzarelli verbiage and the beats knock. I'm bout to step outside and burn something down before I peep this Larry June feature, I got high hopes for this album so far.

Track 4 "GPS"

Definitely a stand out, they should push this as a single. Beat and chorus are on point.

Song has a summertime feel, 25 and up outdoor roller rink in the evening type vibes.

Lackluster Larry on the 2nd verse, doesn't take away from the song being dope but he kinda phoned it in.

Track 5 "The Game"

Minimalistic beat (but in a good way like Clipse "Grindin") which provides a not overly distractive sound bed for 40 to spit rapid fire and fit 2 4 many words into each bar. Probably my least favorite track from the 1st quarter of this album but it's not bad at all, in fact its quite good, so that speaks to the previous songs quality.
