A short album that is easy to get through, but nothing is great. The instrumental interludes, most of the beats, the verses, (minus a couple), and the hooks don't stand out on a high enough level to make me recommend this. Stu's album with Chino XL, 'God's Carpenter', from earlier in the year is a better project.
Beats: ★★★
Rapping/Bars: ★★★
Hooks: ★★☆
Best Tracks: Inhumans, Y'all Clowns, Feeling Brolic
This is really good. Chino raps with an engaging aggression and the beats all suit him. Lots of the production reminds me of Chino's debut from '96. The hook for 'Who Told You' is catchy from the first listen. 'Remind You' brings the aggression down a notch and is one I'm not enjoying as much but it's extremely consistent otherwise. A light 4 out of 5 from me.
Beats: ★★★☆
Rapping/Bars: ★★★★
Hooks: ★★★☆
Best Tracks: AMBImonsterous, Who Told You, Sinister, Night Drive
This begins really well with three songs that have a different sound that all hit in different ways. From 'Lovers', the quality slips though as the sound gets softer. The tail of the album picks up the quality but never reaches great heights. Ace can sound preachy at times.

Best Tracks: OMG, Energy, Feelin’ You, Money
I'm a fan of Bill Burr (director and co-writer of this movie), and while I agree with the 'anti-woke' messages being pushed, this movie is just like so many with boring woke messages and jokes scattered throughout them. The plot isn't interesting or funny enough. One of the funniest moments was the guy on the electric scooter crashing into the trash at the end of the movie... Just watch his stand up.
A short self-produced project from Daz that continues his run of decent projects. For only seven tracks, plus a remix with a Kurupt verse, everything is fairly bangin' and this feels even shorter than it is, but at the same time, nothing is too memorable. I have to say that that yell vocal effect he has used for a while is really beginning to grate!
Best Tracks: If U Don’t Know, Molly Whop, U Can’t Stop Me
