If you like jazzy boom bap and you haven't heard this album yet, YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF A DISSERVICE. This is ear candy for East Coast heads, you'll spot all sorts of samples you recognize.

Idk how I'm just now hearing this. This dude's like if you put JAY-Z through a Griselda filter.

A very tastefully made Boom Bap Rap album that should be very pleasing to die hard East Coast fans. Might not be drastically different from his past work, but his voice and words are as likable as they’ve always been.

Playlist Worthy Tracks: Free Jewelry, A Tour Of The Neighborhood, Rich Rhetoric, Bodega Flowers, Something To Believe In, I Was Supposed To Be A Trap Rapper, Cluture-ish, Bed-Stuy Is Burning, What Money Taught Us, Soft Eyes
