Gotta say I'm surprised the thread hit 10 pages, it's well deserved for this project. I'm seeing Rashad's buzz rise. That long ass tour with Q is gonna earn him a lot of new fans, I bet.

Loved about 60% of the EP at first, the other 40% had to grow on me after a few spins. Now I don't skip a single track. Solid 4/5 to me.

Like the different flows he uses

Like the different moods (Tranquility was peaceful, Soliloquy was gritty as fukk)

LOVE the production (Iman Omari "Energy" sample on "West Savannah" was :banderas:)

Relatable

Lots of introspect

Paid homage to some greats (Scarface, Master P, Juve, Outkast, etc)

One thing that took me by surprise was the amount of pain in his music. Not only does he talk about relationship and family issues, but a lot of his own mental issues. Talmbout having to see doctors, take pills, having suicidal thoughts, etc. Definitely didn't expect that, but it's very human, and I commend him for it. (Second verse of "Heavenly Father" was.............wow)

Hope this cat gets the respect he deserves.

Also, good to see him getting positive reviews on here. Nowadays anything that ain't got autotune or trap beats is "boring" or "trash" to most people.

The track you listened to the least at the start always becomes your favourite.

That's happened with "menthol" for me. Same girl featured in Kendrick's "real" and "money trees"??
