Really cool this one. I think it holds its 64min runtime quite well. The first act 1-9 is all quite nocturnal, dark and subtle smokey rap, from playlist material to straight up jam, and with varying degree of chillness. The only exception is the chorus on 5, which kinda breaks an otherwise really cool track for me. The more conventionally bouncy (after an epic intro sample) 10 and 11 are a bit of a transition phase, whereupon the vocals and overall atmosphere make the album start to feel a bit lengthy. The second act addresses this by varying up more in genre and bringing up more guests. It's a more arduous business to make it work, and as a result it's more of a mixed bag quality wise. 12 is a peak with its funkiness and Selah's great contribution. I like the change in atmosphere from 13, but the guest not so much. 14 is jammy in the style of the earlier album. Then 15 is the greatest example of how cool this alb's play with various languages is. Sadly, Blu and Guy's cool contrib are kind of overshadowed by the brrt brrt skrrt things and the shpongled vox in the back breaking the track. 16 goes again back to a more nocturnal style, but I'm not a fan of the francophone guest - the vlaams vocalists are better. 17 after a dramatische muziek intro is more conventional car trap, the chorus being a bit lame but the second guest cool. 18 is drilley and kinda cool, and I thought it was a good idea to end on a harder track. Then 19 hits even harder, almost to an annoying degree, but it is short so it kinda works. 3.9

| 3.7 great | Erwann S. STAFF | November 24th 20 |
Brussels homie rappin' in Dutch with occasional French sentences. He's got a damn cool attitude, swinging introspective lyrics about his turbulent adolescence into an atmospheric instrumentation switching from boom bap to trap. A bit long (over an hour), but the atmosphere is so gripping it is not a major issue. Goed muziek met een groot doobie. Congrats Gorik for this album. Congrats on being #1 in Vlaanderen, en gefeliciteerd met het vullen van de Ancienne Belgique.
