If those were your favorites then most likely not

Title track might be Cole's best track. Wow.
Will continue listening before making any final statements. Some awkward singing throughout the album, almost off key. I feel like this "no features" shyt hurts Cole as an artist and producer because he's left carrying burdens that he can't really carry. Specifically some of the melodies. A lot of them would sound dope if he simply gave a singer the reference and had her do it.
