I’m not completely sure where the harsh reviews are coming from. If you’re a real hip hop head, you can really appreciate the lyricism and well-thought out concepts in each track. This is also coming from someone who’s been disappointed by Em in the past, nonetheless a huge fan. But..Every time I listen to this album, I notice something new. His flow is on point, his lyrics are great, and you can really tell he put effort into this one. Something tells me there’s a deluxe/side-B coming and I can’t wait.
