Such a solid R&B debut. Steve has a spectacular voice and can do a lot with it, all while offering some classic r&b production with a modern twist.

This album doesn't redefine the genre, but it's undeniable that almost every song will stay in your rotation.

I still cannot fathom how a 17 year old can make a mixtape this good. The 90's boom-bap and New York influence is executed so well, and it really captures the essence of a Brooklyn teenager aspiring to make it in the rap game. Joey's lyricism is so polished in comparison to the rest of the game, let alone for his age. Survival Tactics is one of the greatest rap songs of all time. RIP STEEZ.
