After dropping one of his most personal albums in 'Dark Times' , It was only natural that Vince would tackle the system next.
His rapping and songwriting are next level on this project as you'd expect and actually really fit the instrumentals quite well. The choruses also really surprised me in a good way too.
When it comes to the production, Vince did keep it simple, but his producers and himself did execute the post-punk aesthetic pretty well. If you're already a fan of ... read more
Even though this album is far from bad, it often just feels like an unfinished collection of demos rather than a fully fleshed-out project.
There's something about young Kendrick that just feels so special. He sounds so hungry and ambitious but also so down-to-earth and relatable at the same time. Unfortunately, the quality of his music at this point was still not on par with what we know he can do at his best, but this album is still an amazing listen regardless.

I have to admit that I do like this "abstract trap" sound, but the production is so stale that the album just ends up dragging after a while. I'd love to see SOME songs like these in both of their future projects, but an 1 hour album of just this style qith little variation between songs is not it imo.
flow a bit awkward but the prod is really nice. got lots of potential fs.
