Truth Be Told 2023 Album

AZ

This is a really consistent 29 minutes of hip hop from a rapper who still possesses one of the most unique and enjoyable rhyme patterns. It's more consistent than 2021's 'Doe Or Die II', but I think I enjoyed the best few on that more than here. I'm generally not a massive fan of two verse songs, that some of these are. Three verses gives you more choruses which makes the song stick in your head more and don't feel like they understay their welcome. Like some of the Nas/Hit-Boy collabs, the rapping is fire, but there isn't enough here in terms of hooks. That shows in that after six spins nothing has stuck with me on any high level. The production, all by Buckwild is nice, and from a producer who started in the early '90s, there is an element of freshness to what he's done.
