Take away this dope production and the high quality engineering, and youll have just a dude boring singy rapping with the content of a child who was told to copy and paste what he hears on the radio. Its a shame because he didn't have to do much to make the songs good. A splash of interesting and his own words, maybe even reality would have taken this far. It will pass for music to just have on or sneak on a playlist and you not worry about who is on or care but as far as trying to dive into this or even try to be a fan, he's not giving you anything. He's talking guns, drugs, women and it all sounds like listening to a story about those exact things from someone who you know does none of those things. Features added some fun contrast, pacing instrumentally was solid. When he showed moments of not fully being an industry plant it was solid but they were too few and far between. I wouldn't actively look to put this on.
