It took me a few listens to decide how much I liked it; it's definitely a minor album in a lot of ways but the more I heard it the more I enjoyed it and ultimately I think it deserves a huge amount of respect on the strength of the lyrics alone. Not only is the GZA coming with utterly brilliant, vivid rhymes but some of the guest verses are out of this world too. The production's fine, it's mostly basic loops, but if this is considered a step up from his other post-Liquid Swords projects in that department...ho boy. But anyhow as a rapper this is an album for me to study closely.
Choice cuts: Pencil, 0% Finance, Firehouse
