A street epic with a classic flow
This is an album that impresses with its precise narrative, with words that pierce through tense tracks.
The low-end pressure and clear drums set the stage for the narration, and the rap's inflections clarify the contours of the story. The tempo is skillfully varied, and the intensity and introspection coexist effortlessly. The overall flow is good, making this a highly satisfying album to listen to from start to finish.
