    I thought it was alright. The boys at HHDX are happy with it tho.

    I prefer Armand Hammer’s Haram, Tyler’s album, or Mach-Hommy’s Pray for Haiti tbh

    This sounds dope

    First heard this guy from Phsychodrama. There were tracks on there that I really liked.

    Thanks for sharing.

    7 minute track? 9 minute track? That's unheard of these days.

    Sifted through some of these. Sounds nice. Will give it a proper listen tomorrow.

    he keeps u strapped in for both of those tracks too, writing seems almost effortless to him

    side note but the engineering on this is top top tier, he recorded a lot of it at paramount studios

    it does catch a slight filler section between the wiz kid and snoh allegra records but the highs are just very high for me

    I feel like it gets a bit lost in itself. Didn’t like the midsection as much with a quarter of the album being dancehall records.

    It's a nice change to see artists make songs that are more than 2 minutes long. Especially in the current climate.

    mm, i think it’s one dancehall (wiz kid) and the other is like dancehall-ish on the Lazarus joint but that’s it really

    I wouldnt say AOTY for me but still an amazing album. I've grown to appreciate UK rap (hip hop, drill, grime, whatever) much much more in the past year or so but still havent come across many full UK albums I've enjoyed all the way through. Dave's clearly a cut above the rest though, his potential is staggering. Both this and Psychodrama are great but I think his best is still to come.
