It's alright, but despite some likeable beat switches like those found on 'Dirtball', I don't think these instrumentals are either Hit-Boy's or The Alchemist's best. My favourite is the final track that takes it back to the ol' school using Gank Move's 'Murderer' instrumental (verbatim) and vocals from 1994. It's easily the best song which is perhaps embarrassing for the rest of the freshly made tracks. The feature, HitgirlLena, also offers one of the more memorable verses.
The lack of any decent chorus or catchy songwriting doesn't help the replay value of songs. As I felt on his collab album with The Game, Big Hit doesn't impress, doing nothing to stand out to me as a rapper. A more engaging vocalist could have worked with these beats to a higher level.
