I'd first heard of K-Hill ages ago as I was getting into hip hop with his great high-energy track, 'Da Instigator'. Nothing on this matches that, but it's a consistent collection of conscious boom bap.

This starts off okay, but never reaches good, let alone great heights, and then it falls away completely with 'Trap Phone' being the worst on offer. The album gets more poppy as it progresses including autotune BS singing that I loath. Shaun Wiah (just actually get someone who can sing like Mario, Ghostface) and Chuck Hollywod are horrible. Again the vocals on the chorus aren't good, but the best pop rap song is 'Plan B' featuring some likeable production and I like how it switches from the hook to the verses. The highlights are some of the features like Nas, Meth, Kanye, AZ and it was even nice to unexpectedly hear Ja again. I don't love Ghostface as a rapper for a whole album here. He just yells and doesn't say much. There is nothing to take away from this one. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★☆ Hooks: ★★ Best Tracks: Pair of Hammers, Scar Tissue, No Face, Plan B

This is better than Mack's debut. The production and hooks are more consistent and while again, the content isn't anything fresh, more gangsta rap than sex raps, as well as no interludes, does improve this one. It's close to a 3.5/5, but as with his debut as well, there isn't anything great.

Vocally, Mack sounds like a mixture of Too Short and Eazy E. Most of the lyrical content is about sex and the beats, that is the best component of the album, feature some funk and classic soul samples. It's an easy listen (especially if you remove the interludes), but there's nothing memorable. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★☆ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Danger Zone, Mystery Lover, Something to Ride 2

E-Roc is noted as a Christian rapper, but it doesn't seem like a strong theme throughout the album. His faith is mentioned, but in general, it feels more like a general conscious hip hop type of project. He reps Jesus in a subtle way than most Christian artists. The best song feels different to anything else with more energy and catchier song-writing that stands out. It gives me D.I.T.C. vibes. As I suspected, the producer of the song, Super Menn, didn't work on any other songs. Then you have songs like 'Rhymeology' where the instrumentation sounds quite amateur, so it's a mixed bag. A decent project. I enjoyed playing this through a number of times. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★☆ Hooks: ★★★☆ Best Tracks: Shotgunz & Scriptures, Endless Skies (Godcore Mix), I Am
