One of his best tracks since Internal Affairs.

Monch is dope, but he's been a little stale with the solo projects since the first album. He really needs to bring in better producers and also stop making his own beats, lol. A lot of his tracks have been mad stale after the debut joint. But I still play "What It Is" crazily!!

Facts!

I couldn't have said it any better.

I was listening back to Internal Affairs yesterday and thinking back on the first time I heard the album in 99' when my brother in law bought it.

Good times, man.

But yeah, post Internal Affairs, his projects have missed have the perfect marriage of beats that are in line with his style, voice and delivery.


lyrically, he's still amazing, he just needs to let someone like Diamond D and The Alchemist handle the bulk of the production for his albums.

Diamond or Alchemist would be perfect matches!!

Especially since they already hit him with classics in the past.

I feel that If you play his career out 10 times from the moment Simon Says became a smash that this was the least succesful outcome.
Shout out to Monch though a rappers rapper.
