On this mixtape, Future gives us some of his old vibes, pre-Honest. With the title, you can guess what the tape centers around. Although it is a usual subject for Future, he explores it well.

On "Never Forget," Future looks back at old situations and events, some relating to his fame and success. He is kinda reminding himself to not forget his past and hard come up. The song has this dark and heavy instrumental with this subtle, low, guitar, i really f--- with it. Next, on "Drippin", Future gets really loud and confident with his strong singing voice, something he has not done much in a while. "Inside The Matress" comes out as one of the most powerful tracks on the project. Easily one of the best hooks, his lyricism shines bright. He talks about everything, including Ciara. The track has this lush beat, very well done by Nard B.

The album does pretty well, on a steady level, until the last 2 tracks where the bar raises high. Future gets extremely deep and vulnerable. On "Purple Reign," a Codeine Crazy type track, Future delivers an amazing hook. It is arguable, but i think his girlfriend is an obvious metaphor for Codeine.

The project is not as good as Monster, 56 Nights, or DS2, but it is pretty dope.
