Album Notes & Community Reviews

The official solo debut from the former Ratking frontman stands as a gritty, deeply affectionate love letter to the changing landscapes of New York City. The production assembles fragmented, jazz-inflected boom-bap loops that perfectly suit his distinctive, toothless vocal delivery and intricate, localized storytelling. The record features notable contributions from fellow New York rap luminaries like Ghostface Killah and Your Old Droog.
