Going thru this first, then Willie the Kid's new shhit, on the treadmill in the morning.
Can't front, kinda more excited to hear Will's, just to see what he's on, pause. Shh!t better not be a Joyner Lucas album rapped by Will or I'm a be heated

Word
I'm bout to listen. I actually fukked with Lost And Found heavy when it dropped 
so I been looking forward to thisLost and Found still sounds so good man,Word
The Teyana Taylor joint isn’t bad at all.
But overall, it’s a bit all over the place, like he’s trying to reach every audience—streamers, gospel listeners, international fans, and hip-hop heads. I’m not exactly sure who this is for. It feels like he’s trying to tap into the charm of the Fresh Prince era while simultaneously presenting a more evolved, introspective version of himself.
The skits also seem to be a bit out of place. The album cover has a season 1 on it, so I guess there’s more music coming.

The album is tolerable, the album run time is a tad bit over 30 minutes so it's not going to hold you for too long.I'll listen just cause im intrigued at how this will sound.
I really liked the intro Barbershop joint, it’s creative and it’s addressing everything…and knockin. I like “Lookin for Me”, too, he talking that shhit. From there on it kinda lost me, he’s being too motivational and try-hard with the redemptive narrative and all that…
I’m such a super Will fan I’d even be fine with that, but the songs themselves ain’t my twist, idk what he’s going for with like 70% of these sounds. If he just kept the vibe like the first 2 joints he could have still got his message off and it would have been sonically pleasing at the same time.
. Ehh, like a D+ for me, maybe a C- cause that’s my nig. If it was anybody else I might Fail it tho.. I’ll give it another try later, maybe a different setting will make it hit different..

Exactly how I felt, especially when the Spanish joint came on
Yea I wasn't feeling anything but the intro. I wish more of the beats were like thatI really liked the intro Barbershop joint, it’s creative and it’s addressing everything…and knockin.
