Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during the rapper's lengthy recovery from a near-fatal car accident, this collaborative tape pairs his monotonous, highly detailed street narratives with Craven's signature soul-loop production. The distinctly drumless beats emphasize dusty, pitched-up vocal samples, providing an incredibly mellow, cinematic backdrop for the gritty lyrical content.
