The tracklist looks good, hopefully the production and execution of the album in general is on point and it is a fitting last album from X. I'll look out for it.

In his Drink Champs interview he mentioned just about all those features besides Nas, Jay-Z & Moneybag Yo. My most concerned feature is Moneybag, never heard his music.

I don't mind the RNB/Bono features as they will most likely bring a nice hook. Swizz is very hit or miss on production these days.

That track with Nas and Jay-Z was originally DMX, Nas, Jay-Z & Jadakiss, but for some reason Jadakiss got taken off it. Swizz played the full track during his battle with Just Blaze

This album was completed while x was alive so I’m looking forward to it

Look's more like a compilation then a solo X album, but if that's what X had intended then fine.
But changes have been made, as that 'Pop Smoke' song been removed for example.

Word was they was going to throw on two verses by one of his daughters, X didnt sanction that, so that would just ruin things. His youngest son is credited, dont think he rappin though.

Maybe X and his camp felt they needed all those features to bring attention to the album or X just wanted to get creative with other artists.
But that means there may be only one X verse on most tracks...denying us full on stories, in depth songs and that unique X aura.

'Damien' has also been retired, so expect a more light-side reflection.

Really look forward to it, as it's going to be the newest and last official X LP.
