Kinda disappointed with the first few tracks, mostly beat wise and the features don't come as dope as expected, after track 4 through 8 it picks up a bit maybe it needs to grow on me.... Thought he had more producers at his reach, I guess he doesn't want any beat to sound like a wutang/Raekwon style cuz it don't sound like it from this...

this was a different sound for Rae and at times seemed like more of a collection of songs than an album but I fuck with it

album is pretty fresh after a few listens but still needs to go about the test of time, still on the fence whether or not to cop it

best songs:

2. 4 In the Morning (feat. Ghostface Killah) ( Prod. by Scram Jones)
3. I Got Money (feat. A$AP Rocky) ( Prod. by S1 aka Symbolic One)
5. Heated Nights (Prod. by Frank G)
7. 1,2 1,2 (feat. Snoop Dogg) ( Prod. by Scoop Deville)
8. Live to Die (Prod. by S1 aka Symbolic One)
10. Revory (Wraith) (feat. Rick Ro$$, Ghostface Killah) (Prod by Bluerocks)
12. Nautilus (Prod. by Scram Jones)
13. Worst Enemy (feat. Liz Rodriguez) ( Prod. by Matt Burnett)

the rest wasn't bad as some people made it out to be but just seemed like songs featuring Rae rather than being his own

I always know Chef will come correct lyrcally, so it comes down to a matter of beats and arrangement.

this was a different sound for Rae and at times seemed like more of a collection of songs than an album but I fuck with it
My thoughts exactly.

I'll give it another try later on a decent system and when I don't feel like skipping around tracks.

I can see 2 Chainz and French straying fans away but Rae has always dropped heat with Ross, and A$AP is NY plus they've collabed before and made heat

That's fair, just strikes me as another older dude forcing collabs with rappers that are trendy these days. I honestly haven't checked for Rae since OB4CL II. Damn was that really 6 years ago?  :-\
