The delivery is so genuine and spontaneous that it sounds as though the rapper is talking directly to you, and the lyrics take you on a journey through the artist’s emotions which is beautiful.

In ‘One Hit Wonder’, the third track on the album, the artist’s characteristic vocal flip is on full display. Hearing the artist’s take on his personal experiences is emotionally moving and hits you deep within your core. The album’s fourth song, “The Haunting of Nickie Barnes,” is among the album’s most creative tracks. The artist uses a piece of dark melody that has an intricate musical approach that leaves you wanting more. This track beautifully showcases his excellent flow and lyrical skill. Punchy beats and a menacing flow give the song a spellbinding atmosphere that perfectly matches the profound lyrics.

“Highest in the Garment District/2 in the Freezer,” the fifth song on the album, is the ideal homage to a night out.
