The variety on here felt pretty abundant to me. Still honed in on a certain genre but none of the tracks sounded that similar. I ended up liking this a lot more than I was anticipating but I've liked Keem's stuff in the past. I think it is missing a really stand out track but maybe I need to give the ones I do like a bit more time to age on me. Keem's vocal style is almost off-putting given how his delivery is lackadaisical at times but that's part of the charm. Makes sense that he is related to Kendrick because they have similar mannerisms in how they "perform" on a song. Not afraid of doing something a little bit wacky or goofy but is done tastefully where it's not portrayed as cringe. Very let down by "Good Flirts". Was hoping the main Kendrick feature on here would just be him talking about butts. It's a bit funny but not a ton of reliability. Given the vibe of the song, not exactly a party banger. A lot of the other songs on here are freakishly good.

Bottom half of the album is amazing, top half of the album is not really what I want from Baby Keem, but it's fine in a way where I wouldn't skip any songs if I was listening in the background. I like that he kept it short with this one.

tracks 5-11 is one of the best runs of the year so far (1st listen) The story this album tells is fucking amazing. Thematically goes perfectly with the booman documentaries he posted on his youtube aswell. (4th listen)
