This doesn’t come close to Book Of Ryan imo, it’s dope Royce wants to make his own beats, and a handful of them here are nice, but like some of you have already said a lot of them are also really bland/stale, I feel slightly finessed that he led with Black Savage, Upside Down and Overcomer as these are arguably the 3 best beats on here lol, He’ll only improve overtime tho

As far as Griselda, I think Benny is Dope af, but the other 2 are overrated imo:yeshrug:

This album is dope. I don't understand the complaints about the skits and interludes. The album has a theme and those skits and interludes fit the album's overall message. I really am convinced some people complain just for the sake of complaining. I get that people are always gonna have differences of opinion tho. Giving this a second and third listen thru the night.

Royce blessing us with another great album! :salute:

Production is flat. Royce rappin on this mf and I like the allegory theme. It's probably too much of a concept album to get consistent play and it sounds too "samey". But it's some decent stuff on here. Everybody album is too long or short now.

I guess I'm in the minority but I actually liked the production. Didn't realize Royce produced everything until I came into this thread. Always felt like Royce had a tendency to pick bad beats on some of his ablums or tapes which would make him experiment or change up his flow too much and not sound good. He rides all his beats well. I thought all the features were dope too, especially the Griselda guys.
