  • I personally love this album. Might even be my album of the year so far. I never blame people for not liking Billy Woods’ music though bc it is demanding and I’m often just not in the mood. I am surprised to hear someone call Kenny Segal’s production boring though. The subject matter of Woods’ bars here, contemplating the end times, romanticizing his melancholic solitude while on tour and evaluating his relationships, just hits for me and makes it easier to listen to. I’d disagree with calling him a ‘lyrical miracle’ type because he doesn’t compromise on the content of his lyrics to jam in SAT words or obnoxious internal rhymes. And don’t even get me started on the features on this album they’re all gas, especially ELUCID’s verses. Billy Woods has become my favorite rapper over the past 3-4 years with this wildly consistent and prolific run and I really hate to hit you with the “it’s an acquired taste” line but his style really has grown on me more than I thought it would. This albums a 10/10
