Very well executed, the essential Griselda sound with some of the most interesting flows in all of their projects.
The Alligator Straps -> Empire beat switch is also just so good
What the fuck
My ears clearly didn't give consent to hear this, probably all part of his plan.
Some of Peggy's most refined and complete work, as well as some of his most adventurous tracks since Veteran, it feels like a matured sound with what will go down as some of the best songs ever made in the experimental rap genre.
Top 3 Songs:
THOT'S PRAYER (100)
HAZARD DUTY PAY (100)
ARE U HAPPY? (100)

Top 3 Songs:
FIX URSELF! (95)
FEED HER! (80)
LAST DANCE! (80)

Peggy demonstrates his creative genius, which had been more than present during his time under Devon Hendryx. However it feels as if he's still finding and curating his JPEGMAFIA identity, with many cases of politics seeming forced and being prioritised over the enjoyability and quality of the song.
I Just Killed A Cop Now I'm Horny is going to go down in history as one of the defining tracks of experimental and modern political rap. The sample of the police officer being shot is ... read more
