Post's debut mixtape is quite horrible, in the way that it is completely generic and rarely has any points that show true potential, and the songs that do aren't exactly his best work. It's not really worth listening to this, as short as it is, it's completely skippable.

Best songs: Money Made Me Do It, Hollywood Dreams Come Down, Oh God

Meh songs: Never Understand, Git Wit U, 40 Funk, Monte, Lonely

Worst songs: God Damn, Fuck
