^Good ****. Was getting some negative reviews that had me cautious but Shabazz always delivers. Some slower stuff than usual for them at the back half of the album. 9/10 first impression.

OCnotes is noted as a performer on the album, but I'm not sure to what extent. This KEXP performance is a little older, but his album Cocaine Lazarus is some trippy Shabazzcore.

Insane that this came out in 2011, definitely a key progenitor of a lot of what's going on now in hip hop

I was hella sleep deprived and stressed on a flight when I first heard this and it just didn't engage me at all. Should've returned to this earlier, this is easily one of Milo/RAP Ferreira's best albums.

God we needed this. I thought the Isaiah Rashad track was a miss though. Fingers very crossed for something new from kendrick, sza or schoolboy q this week
