420 / 12 2012 Album

T-Rock

This album is apparently somewhat of a prelude album to 'Papers: Volume One', due out late this year/early 2013, and despite the title and release date, it is thankfully not an album full of stoner songs. Overall, this is slightly disappointing compared to his most recent albums that have been straight bangas. The beats aren't as strong in my opinion from beginning to end as we have had over the past few albums, and there are also a couple of rehashed tunes. 'I Don't Love You' is on 'I Grind, I Hustle', and 'Suited Up' was released on 'Slang & Serve II'. One other disappointment is that while T-Rock has finally got his fast-flowing compatriot Twista as a guest feature, it is on one the weakest poppy tracks here. I would have loved to hear them going toe-to-toe on a harder beat. In saying all of this, there are also still a number of great tunes such as the usual opening head bangin' tune 'Full Time', and the chick track 'Doin What Ya Doin' that T-Rock does quite well. After a few spins there is little that I don't get enjoyment out of from this dope lyricist, who is my favourite rapper currently rapping. Best Tracks: Full Time, Gutta Muzick, Doin What Ya Doin, Suited Up, Tears Drop, Git Me Started, I Don't Love You
