A decent mainstream gangsta rap album from Banks. I enjoy the extra variety and diverse voices we hear on this compared to his post 2020 albums. The feature list has some noteworthy names like Mobb Deep, Scarface, 8ball, Rakim and Musiq Soulchild. The second song is my pick with its hard raps, catchy hook and dope production from Young RJ. 'Help' is the one truly poppy song here and it's surprising that it wasn't a single, instead 'Hands Up' was the only single from this album. There isn't anything amazing here, but there's not much that has me desperate to hit skip either.
