Notes:
A very interesting album from KDot. Honestly felt like this album was a separate story from his other albums. It seemed like this one was its own thing, riding high off of the Drake beef. Honestly though, it’s his worst album.

While I still really like the album, I prefer the original album. This rating is only based on the deluxe songs.

Decent album. Pete Rock did pretty well on this album. Unfortunately the album is as repetitive and preachy as it gets. Overall, I like it but it’s only okay. I am excited for the inevitable, a volume 2.

Cannot find a reason to hate this song. An absolute banger that I will have playing on repeat in grave
