The group effort does serve as an appetizer-inducer for future artists’ projects.

A launching pad for future stars and another accolade in the storied career of others, this one, as they say, is for the culture.

Instead of being a fan of artists whose talent reaches in different directions than his and subsequently exploiting their sound for his own benefit, Cole has provided the ultimate platform for underground artists to succeed.

The best parts of Dreamers III are when Cole & Friends mix it up with their guests and step outside of their comfort zones.

Despite having similar shortcomings, Revenge of the Dreamers III is arguably the most promising posse album to have dropped in the past year or so.

You all know how I feel about J Cole. This project is mostly fire and Mr. Cole is (partially) the creator of it. My opinion is evolving and so is his sound. The song with Ski Mask and Smokepurpp is wild.
On an intitial listen, this has a lot of the same issues as Top Dawg Entertainment's soundtrack for Black Panther last year — the talent disparity between the best members of Dreamville and the lesser members is so strong that whenever one of them comes on a track, I feel like I really only want to wait until one of the major figures like Cole, J.I.D, Doctur Dot, Johnny Venus, or Bas is on the track.
