After listening to this album twice in a properly intoxicated mindstate I've concluded that the album sounds like 1993 Enta Da Stage Buckshot rhyming over 1995 Smiff N Wesson Dah Shining Type Beats.

The album is a good 4 mics.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
I fukks with Joey Bad Ass hard body

My only issue is I don't ever remember any stand out lines from him. He kinda just raps and all his verses kinda sound like one long verse of rapping. He raps really well from a syllabic perspective and I can tell he has content but no lines or verses ever stand out

Brehs who heard the album, as far as the new school go where does this rank?
It's better than anything that came out last year, 4 Mics, I still like 1999 (one of the best mixtapes I ever heard) more but this is a really good album.
