The appearance of rap’s new Golden Era revivalist breed on this album seems to affirm the deeply held belief that this shit never really went anywhere in the first place without expressly saying so.

This album is hard to hate if you're a hip-hop head. The music is just really cool, even if it's rather simple. It features samples, classic 90s boom bap drums, and groovy flows that feel very old school. If this album was just playing in the background, you would be ... read more
