This album and Book Of Ryan by Royce helped me get through my mother's death.

With so much music that comes out I realized I keep revisiting this album. One of the best hip hop albums that year

Facts! I used to hope him or Kendrick would have dropped a new album by now but the way things are with TDE they just keep us waiting. I don’t like it cause I feel it may ruin an artists creative flow and it deprives the fans.

Gonna listen to this album again just because the thread being bumped. Redemption is such a good album. I saw a link the other day saying Jay Rock is back in the studio. Hopefully we get blessed with another good album soon!

It's already been almost 3 years since this album dropped
Probably my favorite project from that year.

"Troopers" is so damn smooth

Him and Kendrick's back and forth on "Wow Freestyle"

The people who cape for TDE defending their long ass breaks need to eat a dikk…no way Jay shouldn’t have capitalized one this album’s reception with a new joint 12-18 months later

3 years - q
4 years - jay
5 years - k dot
5 years - sza

Yeah I don't know what they are waiting. Should drop an album every 2-3 years for everyone

None of them are the type of artist that's really able to take a break like this besides Kendrick.

Rock should have definitely came out by now. I can't imagine he's been touring this whole time

Q last album wasn't received well, so he need to redeem himself.

SZA well punch and top must be up to some shyt having affairs with her or something. She should have had at least 2 more projects by now smh. Summer Walker crushed her lane but sza got way more crossover appeal

Damn has it been 4 years? This album was great, Rock definitely has his moment. He seems to be in the studio alot so hopefully something this year.

 

[Black Ball]

Damn TDE is pretty trash with the releases. Artists are dropping all the time now. Drop some EP's or something while you work on your album.

Anyway I loved this project. Gonna give it spin.

 

[Guvnor]

shyt is wild, TDE never lets artist drop music and I don't fukking get it.

I mean even Vince Staples has 5 albums studio label backed albums now and most TDE artist barley have 3 and SZA one of their biggest artist only has 1.

I think by doing less albums it increases the impact and value of the albums they do drop, which is smart. But they should have artist dropping at least every 2-3 years.

SZA should definitely have another album out by now

Not a good strategy at all imo. Years ago this would have worked but in this day and age time flies and an artist can waste their best year on the shelf.
