Production is so clean. Marco did one hell of a job. And Ace, 30 years in the game sounding young and inspired, soulful and meaningful rhymes, I mean Lupe is a complex lyricist but that's unnecessary especially how Ace just breaks down concepts so effortlessly. Definitely album of the year for me.

I only just realized The Fight Song with Monch is about Ace's battle with multiple sclerosis :wow:
And monch is rapping from the perspective of the disease :wow:.......ace picked the perfect rapper to take that role. Monch fukkin killed it.



"Usually move in slow motion. Til death do us part. now that's devotion" :demonic:


"You better be dedicated to sedatives and medication. I meditate. Educate you on levitation":picard:


"I move alone. I work clean. Gang up on your blood and crip you, I'm MS13" :damn:



But then ace came back like nah breh, I ain't going out like that:camby:......He even said how the disease was hurting his rap skills. But he decided to fight back and come back with a vengeance. Which pretty much connects with what we've been saying about his drop off over the past few years.



"You might slow me a little bit, but you won't stop me
You might stand in my pathway but you won't block me
Way back when you didn't know me and I wrote sloppy
I tend to write with the inner fight of a broke rocky
That's the reason I'm focused more and I'm in the gym
Cause every day is a new chance to go in again"


:banderas:


"My spine tingling, visions off and my fingers numb
He looking for a vicious fight, ima bring him one
My killer tape is gonna play loud until dilla wakes
If he wanna song that illustrates ima sing him one
A little tune called "I'ma fight til the final nap"
Excruciating this new creation of spinal tap"



:whew:




It's good to see ace is fighting back. His flow and hunger on here actually shows it. He sounds so good I low key thought he mighta used some old recordings. Dude sounds like his disposable arts self. I think I might put this album ahead of long hot summer when it's said and done.



Ace top 10 all time :wow:

Breukelen is the OG Dutch name for "Brooklyn". In the Netherlands, born and raised, we still have a Breukelen (just like we have the OG versions of most NY boroughs).

On my list.

2018 is insane.


Yo, I just left Amsterdam. Place is so cool. Very hip hop too. I was shocked
