This is still raw though, I feel like he found a good balance with this project. His voice is still pretty muffled at a lot of moments

here I was thinking Klein x MIKE would be all-out avant-garde s*** and she basically does a Liv.e-esque soul thing lol, this is def MIKE going "pop" kinda. don't yet know if I like that as much as "raw sounding" MIKE, will maybe take some more getting used to.. but already loving a lot of this

whoa how didn't I gel w Tapestry at first whoa whoa, incredible vibe

Love how the beat develops on that track. Jadasea's verse is beautiful.
Short and sweet ride into the sunset.

Old Earth is special. Need a part 2.

Felt exactly the same. First listen thought it was a cool track. Second listen it hit like a ton of bricks.

ngl was expecting King Carter to maybe be a weird flex but he slid

imagining him performing that like on stage in Peckham Audio, was still one of the most impressive rap performance I've seen live tbh.

think he definitely got potential to go down in greatest ever rapper lists eventually

This album sounds “complete” in a way that disco didn’t for me

Eczema beat is actually wild af

this cracked me up

"Funnily enough, there are no health or environmental reasons MIKE is a pescatarian. “I went to England and the homies were like ‘All the OGs out here are either vegan or pescatarian.’ And these are all the real gangsters in London. I was like ‘Yo, that’s so hard!’… Yeah, I’m done eating chicken,” he explains, laughing."

Somehow overlooked it my first listen, too

kind of want a bigquint reaction for weary love ha

This cover is everything

Aoty contender

king carter verse bro

I feel this this feels like a SRS level project to me

Yeah I felt the same way.

Oh s*** this is out, let’s go

this is very nice

haven't connected with a mike album this much since Tears of Joy

Isn’t that super weird

extremely scary classic discography for a rapper yet to hit 25

I’m a fool for a jazz guitar sample
