Denzel is my favorite artist so it is so hard for him to disappoint me, but this just ain’t it. I haven’t listened to this since it came out, and I’ve avoided it since because I knew it wouldn’t do anything for me.

The beat selection is so odd. Denzel sounds great, but the beats don’t fit him at ALL. He feels like an echo against them, like the two were just kinda spliced together haphazardly. The features don’t even really do much for me either.

I’ve fallen out of the loop with Earl’s albums and haven’t really listened to him in well over five years. I’ve kept up with the releases, but none have ever really grabbed my attention.

Only complaint is that it’s such a short project. It’s one of my least favorite trends in modern music when a small album of 2 minute tracks is released.
