Haven't had the chance to listen to the album front to back, but what I've heard...this is a pretty dope LP. Production and soundscape is great and D Smoke is doing a good job as well. Looking forward to give this a proper listen the next couple of days. Are there any standout tracks for you guys?

listened to it two times from start to end without skips. it's a good album but no song made me want to replay for future. maybe i should give it a third listen.

I had a listen on the way to work it the album seem okay but nothing stood out or was memorable. I like D Smoke but he always seemed to me like a bit of a Kendrick knock off.

I came here to say the same thing. his sound and flow reminds kendrick a lot nowadays. also his beat choice.

Would be in that kind of vibe but think this is less experimental
