Haven’t wrote for more than a minute, but you’re in luck for a misfortune, because I’ll be reviewing (in case you missed the image, HAH idiot)

As a whole, this is definitely a fascinating album that displays Rocky’s rocky mindset (see what I did there) with psychedelic and experimental production that will grab your ears by surprise.
This album goes all over the place with slow melodic tunes like Better Things and Excuse Me, bangers like Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 and M’$ with the guitar heavy intro, Holy Ghost. It’s not to say that this project is bad, it’s unique in its own right, but in order to understand Rocky’s creativity, there is an acquired taste that will either leave your ears with a bad taste or asking for more please.
From the beginning of this project, we’re greeted with a track of self introspection and Rocky is more of a rockstar than a rapper on the track, and after that, we’re on a wild ride through Rocky’s reminiscing of failed relationships, women, drugs, his rebellious idol, James Dean, and dedications to Max B (Free Max B) and the late A$AP Yams (RIP).
When it came to the features, each and everyone was definitely necessary for this project (except for Juicy J and UGK), from Bones (surprisingly good) to Kanye West to the mysterious Joe Fox. It was shocking to see no other member of A$AP Mob except for Yams was featured, but A$AP Ferg was in the project in spirit and ad-libs.
The most surprising feature of all on the project had to be the Pretty Flacko Senior Mos Def. His verse was short and sweet in which he displayed praise to Rocky and his strong readiness even in 2015. The production was meant for Def and all cartoon villains to bump in the whip to destroy the world.
Rocky’s combination of dissimilar tracks and production makes this a great open-journal for your ears to take a look at.
9/10
