This completely passed me by. I didn't realise Snoop released this until two months post release. While there are some veteran producers providing their talent such as Rick Rock, Soopafly, DJ Battlecat and Nottz, it's his most trap sounding album with some sounding like DJ Mustard beats. Unlike his last 75 minute album, this cuts the running time by more than half and also doesn't play around with other genres and sounds, making it an easier listen than his last effort, 'I Wanna Thank Me'. However, while it starts off hopeful, with the first song being strong and the next couple being good as well, it loses some steam. Some of the hooks aren't great and the features don't all hit the mark for me. The Eastsidaz, who released a couple of albums that I would recommend listening to if you haven't, reunite on 'Fetty in the Bag', but the production gets a bit monotonous with little change up between the hook and verses. 'Talk Dat Shit To Me' is a highlight largely thanks to Snoop rapping with constant alliteration that always sounds good. It's a consistent listen, but if you are only going to give me ten tracks, there needs to be more high moments. There is nothing great, or, maybe apart from the alliteration spitting, that Snoop hasn't done before.
