I’m so glad this didn’t go under my radar. This is such a unique hip hop album. Incorporating super weird jazz instrumentals that almost flow into free jazz territory in gangsta rap is something I need to hear more of. Definitely one of the best hip hop albums of the year.

Standouts: Welcome to 76, Detroit River Rock, B.B. Butcher, Middle of Next Month, Mommy Dearest (a eulogy), Birth of Bold (the christening), Requiem, God Flicked (the rebirth)

Came out pleasantly surprised with this one. This is a pretty solid album. Lil Tjay has these really catchy melodies and he can’t definitely flow, putting him above a lot of his contemporaries at the moment. The production is also solid throughout.

Damn I hate this. I once liked the song WHATS POPPIN but by now it’s gotten kinda bad in my eyes. Too bad that’s the best song on this thing. There’s just nothing to like about this. Harlow comes off as not having really anything to show here. The lyrics are boring and kinda gross sometimes. The productions also nothing special.

Decided to check this out after seeing the XXL freshmen list for this year. I guess I'm just not feeling much trap music lately.
