Album Notes & Community Reviews

Surprise-released without prior warning, the fiercely independent Brooklyn rapper delivers a gritty, deeply technical boom-bap masterclass. The album features dusty, sample-heavy production from heavyweights like Sadistik and Daringer, alongside prominent guest verses from DOOM, Mach-Hommy, and Roc Marciano. It firmly established his status as a premier lyrical force within the New York underground.
