This album was released in 2015 and you can certainly tell from the sound of the album. If what you are looking for is easy listening and non complex lyricism then this album is for you. No hate to Hopsin but this album is NOT for me. It has aged like milk and the instrumentals and generally weak. I don't understand why Hopsin has stolen Eminems style and flow and this is very obvious if you listen the song No Hope. I mean there are some good things I can say about this album such as the instrumentals go well with his voice? It seems like Hopsin is trying to cater towards a certain group of people (like most music does) but he uses the n-word a LOT for music that comes off as it is targeted towards white teenage boys. Once again it seems like Im being very hash on this album but I genuinely did not enjoy this album at all but on the plus side its not the worst album I have ever listened to.

I think this album would be great for someone who is trying to move away from only listening to Eminem as it has similarities to how Eminem raps and that kind of musty aesthetic Eminem produces. I just don't think I can say much more on this album because this is just kinda just (hate to say it) bad.

Thank you to who suggested this album but it has been an unenjoyable experience listening to it and I hope to never have to review a Hopsin album ever again!

The 'best' song on the album is Fort Collins and the worst song is No Words skit, by FAR the worst thing ive ever heard...

Im very sorry for such a negative review on this album but I cannot stand it.
