How do you guys feel about their debut tape "After Hours"?

I don't think it gets talked about enough

Take Control is an entire vibe

When the men first met at Al Maskati’s 21st birthday party, they were fledgling music producers, and University of Toronto students. A few months later, they began work on what would become their debut mixtape, “afterhours,” in Ullman’s dorm room. Al Maskati, who was raised in Bahrain, had to return home after graduation. “I (said), I have to leave and graduate soon, and I’d love to make a project before I go home and have to leave the country, because I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to make music again,” Al Maskati says. “As soon as school was out, I went and stayed at (Ullman’s) family house, and over the course of four or five weeks we finished that mixtape. Then I left the country.”

Al Maskati returned to Bahrain, and began to look for a straight job. Within twenty-four hours after Majid Jordan (then working under the name “Good People”) uploaded “afterhours” to SoundCloud, they received an email from Noah “40” Shebib, Drake’s longtime collaborator and an OVO Sound co-founder. Shebib was interested. “At that point, I didn’t understand who he was to Drake, or to music,” Ullman says. Al Maskati returned to Toronto as quickly as immigration issues allowed, and Majid Jordan soon signed to OVO.
“Hold On” was an early Majid Jordan demo that Drake and Shebib, whom Al Maskati and Ullman describe as a mentor, turned into a worldwide hit.

Amazing the chemistry they had to make that so soon after meeting and in a dorm room

willing to forgive their entire botched rollout of superstar, caught up, and all over you if they give us 'work this' and announce an album title and date. go on IG live, talk about where they been and what kinda music to expect. maybe do a set on beats 1.

Pushed back due to Party, COVID, and then maybe just because it’s not ready

I’m not rushing it because it’s not like a label problem or anything, they really on their own time

Any guesses when we’re getting album 3? They said no longer than 2020

I need OVO to give them a similar push they gave Party for this next album. If they could get a PND x Rih single to pop off (top 40 hit), they should get MJ a big feature like Dua Lipa or Ari

Still dont understand how they drop all over you and spirit and then dip. With songs like free us and work this in the vault too. Thats already a third of the perfect album they are chasing
