Individual songs are stronger, but this felt overall weaker than the Slaughter Tapes because it varies a lot less. The bass always sound the same (more or less distorted plucked stuff), the drums often feel out of place, the instruments reek of VSTs, and the whole thing feels very much made on a sequencer and not organic at all. And over that, we get the same vaguely gangsta, awkwardly flowing delivery for pretty much the whole record, which made me saturate quite fast. 1 got my hopes up and is honestly a good track with a nice, nocturnal delivery, just a touch of autotune where it brings a bit of colour, and just a cool drugged vibe overall. 5 is sort of light and fun, 6 has cool instrumental in the intro but becomes laughable as soon as the bass kicks in, 8 also has a fun instrumental like 5, 9 has nice piano but awkward bass - and at hat point you're just tired of the vocals really -, and apart from that there isn't much to retain from this mixtape that feels a lot longer than it actually is. 2.15
