I couldn't tell if this was throwaways or they are truly just uninspired. Everything about this felt very half assed. The production was ok and had variety but all the mixes made things feel very dusty, damn near sound cloud ish. The raps are all pretty much the same thing, aggro thuggery from East Side, bald headed light skin things. When they had moments it would really shine but those thoughts never really fully came through due to quality or just the emcees dropping the ball. For 13 tracks its very forgettable and maybe has a couple tracks that you could hold onto. Which is a shame because it felt like a tiny bit of effort would have raised this score by a good amount. Throw this on to see what they are up to but other than that I wouldn't' bump it again.
