Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Detroit underground veteran crafts an incredibly dense, psychologically nuanced album revolving around themes of self-doubt, ego, and internal contradiction. The production relies on woozy, eccentric jazz loops, featuring an expansive roster of guest collaborators including Roc Marciano, Jean Grae, and Elzhi. It was widely heralded as a deeply relatable, hilariously sarcastic masterpiece of modern alternative hip-hop.
