after a couple of listens & judging by the # of replies in this thread, seems like this is gonna be one of the most slept on albums this year

Album is pretty well put together.. it's maybe missing that one really great song... but then again there's no fillers either. "just" a good album. but important album for Joell because even though Free Agent pretty good too, the label fukked up the release (and I think some of the songs which were supposed to be on the album weren't) Bodega Chronicles was more raw, almost like a mixtape/street album with couple of fillers. this seems like the album Joell's next projects will be compared to & before this he didn't have a mixtape or album like that.
