I’ll give a more in depth review later on, but this is a great album
The production is amazing, but I think this is the first album where the production outshined Nas.
Usually the beats are tailored around Nas, but some of the beats I can see any other rapper also slay these beats.

Nah... Nas shined on this album. Hitboy as well.

This album is lyrically better than any album that's dropped this year, thus far (and lyrically, there have been some great albums this year).

First off, EPMD is my second favorite group of all-time after Tribe. So anytime they pop up and get busy, I'm grateful.

I still think Hit is hit or miss on the beats, but I appreciate him and Nas going in together for these last two projects. Nas is sounding revitalized on these joints. I've heard a lot of these same beats in sample packs, but Nas is one of our GOAT's, so he can lift tracks to the next level. I remember him saying he lost inspiration a few years ago, so it's dope to hear him sounding like he's back on it again.

Nas should just keep dropping a joint every year. Keep the standard high for these other rappers.
