5 great tracks to continue the energy of the original album.
Pretty rare to have every feature do their thing, Denzel brought the best out of them.

As someone who enjoys Gunn’s delivery, I think he sounds great over these beats.
The features did great too, especially Conway, Benny, and Rome Streetz.
Score would be higher if it didn’t take such a long time to get going, kinda plodded around at the start.
Just a good, ... read more
