Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a surprisingly political and conscious take on trap music, the Atlanta rapper's third studio album directly addresses the era's global financial crisis. Buoyed by the massive success of 'Put On', the record effectively balances his signature boastful hedonism with sharp social commentary.
