this compilation is incredibly overlooked. clams often gets his recognition but nowhere near what he deserves. this belongs in the conversation for the best instrumental hip hop album of all time, with how he manages to make these beats feel so overwhelming but without ever sounding out of place.

the songs by themselves are ight, but it still drags on just like most of his other albums. it wouldve been better if it ended on What Did I Miss?

ive had my eye on totojira since his first project back in 2024. he has outdone himself this time. the production is incredibly rich, with perfect sample choices throughout, and it all feels so smooth. scurra's rapping is great too and helps bring even more out of the production. the features are also excellent, with each fitting well into the beautiful production. a strong album of the year contender.
