honestly, kinda boring! there weren't any tracks that stuck out. very forgettable.

some of danny brown's best rapping TO DATE. the best way to describe this album is a more modern version of Old. danny has always had a good ear for production, and old was a prime example of that. the main example everyone talks about is charli xcx, i mean, for good reason! she finally got the recognition it deserves.
