    Gave this a few listens already

    This is incredible

    Ngl I was expecting something a little more grandiose due to the amount of time he had to work on this but I’m satisfied with the outcome. This is exactly how I’d expect a Jay Elect album to sound

    Was kinda surprised about some of the production choices too, specifically The Blinding and Ezekiels Wheel. They made those beats work better than I could’ve predicted

    Can’t complain about an album with Jay Elect and Hov trading verses

    I will say this. Jay Elect approaches this differently than he did tracks in the past

    Great rhythms and percussion could've used more backing instruments like pianos on the upbeat or something or guitars to make it a 10/10 Rockafella beat

    This just came out so I want to sit with this some more but after like 7 listens I can say it’s really good not great.
    As of right now only two songs would replace any songs in my top 15 jay E track

    Jay Electronica lyrically is the best I’m sorry. There is no other rapper that can do what he can with rhyming.

    My issues with this is some of the mixing, the hook on Ezekiel, that big Sean track and Hovs verse on Never ending a story.

    Also while most of the songs are good. He set such a high bar with better In Tune and exhibit c and I don’t know if he has one of those on this album.

    I also had super sky uhh expectations so once those quell a bit it will probably grow on me more.

    7.5/8 10. Very satisfied

    Synopsis

    Regardless of how i or anyone else feels about the noi and farrakhan they've had a profound impact on jays life and gave him direction when he seemingly had none

    NOI has great rapper outreach, I agree

    It's beautiful. It caught me off guard at first as well but I know eventually it'll just click and become a drifting thought. It's so dope man.. the little intricacies in the production is just nuts

    Uhoh

    What u think about all the jay z

    Too much Hov for my liking. His verses was good but it was almost like he was forcing the Allah references lol. I just don’t like the pairings. Jay Elect is more poetic than street and Hov is more street than poetic. Doesn’t mesh well but still a. Great job.

    I don’t hear this. I have m50xs, which i read have plain and equal levels compare to other headphones. I can hear the mixing issue on shiny suit theory obviously so idk, the rhythm is incredible to me

    Absolutely. Entire album is just organic, impassioned, beautiful music that just feels inspired by life and energy. I’m mad grateful we even get to experience all this
