Album of the year , easily. Royce shows  he is on the level of Rakim and Nas lyrically on this. Very impressive.

Nice thread... I need to check this one out.... Royce always sounded good over Premier beats...wasn't "Friends" a Premier beat back when Royce was young and in his prime?

loving royce on this...so chill at times it could seem like he's mailing it in, but then he hits you with something like this:

Fuck you and your damn charts
And your crowd participation
I'm putting a land mine under your stage
Had his place raining fan parts
And called that shit crowd precipitation

[Matty]

dope album, has that old school in your face boom bap appeal as expected with this combination. i think royce has gone downhill lately, like he's trying too hard, but he's still entertaining. production carries this one for me.

XXL Review:

I was sceptical about this project, thinking it might be boring but I kept a open mind.

I have to say it turned out to be a very good project and a very smart idea with the features.

Most of the features brings something fun and different to the tracks they are on.

The last three tracks are my favourites at the moment, they've been on repeat back to back.


'To me, To you' feat Jay Electronica (Jay Elcteonica came correct on this)

'Underground Kings' feat Schoolboy Q & Killer Mike (Impressed by Q on this, he stepped his game up to do the track justice & Killer Mike delivered too)

'Microphone Preem' Feat SlaughterHouse (I'm not a big slaughterhouse fan but this beat is almost perfect for them, the beat is that kinda perfect boom bap perfection for lyricists, best track on the project for me.)

[geezy]

I wish a lot of project would be like this, 9 solid tracks, no weak track, no fillers, all features put an effort in and delivered.

Makes the album listenable and you can play it all back again without skipping, that way some tracks grow more on you.

Oh and Premo is amazingly on point with the productions on this project!

This is easily 8.5/10 for me.

yeah premo definitely brought some heat. getting gang starr vibe from a lot of it - 'dat good sound' would fit in perfectly on 'the ownerz' lp.
