Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reportedly recorded in just three days, this project features production entirely handled by Soundtrakk and focuses on themes of societal decay and artistic integrity. The music is heavily influenced by cool jazz and soulful samples, providing a smooth contrast to the dense and intellectually demanding verses. It was released to high critical acclaim, often cited as one of the most cohesive works in the artist's later career.
