Sep 3, 2021Still waiting on that solo LP jayelec - One of the greatest to ever do it. APIDTA had me crying like a baby

Jul 25, 2021This is a pretty great Jay Z album, with Electronica providing some strong raps as well. The instrumentals are a highlight as well, with some being the most beautiful you'll ever hear, along with songs like Flux Capacitor with more blown out, experimental beats. Would recommend for any Jay Z fan, or people who liked the third verse of Control.

Jun 10, 2020Not what I wanted from a Jay Electronica “debut”.. Hov out rapped him, which is not a surprise, but Hov shouldn’t have been on so many tracks. Some of beats on here also weren’t the best. Still though there was really good rapping from both of them.

Apr 4, 2020Great production (mostly) but occasionally raps sound disconnected from melody and a distraction. Well worth repeated listens as each reveals more from production.

Apr 3, 2020Album of the year. Masterpiece from Jay Electronica. Jay Z merks every track he’s on, as always.

Mar 23, 2020One of the best albums I've personally ever listened to. The general flow and transitions are amazingly done, and the tone really fits the speed of the album.

Mar 21, 2020This album was the most immaculate project that i've heard and definitely one of the best albums that i've ever heard throught this entire year. Jay Electronica and Jay-Z were the perfect match for each other. also the production on this album was top notch from start to finish and mostly the lyricism on this project was on point. This LP was definitely worth the wait.

Mar 18, 2020Solid rapping production isn't the norm but it's fine they tried pushing the sound sonically

The WireApr 28, 2020Filled with ghosts; confessions; jokes; an abundance of Jay-Z features and a prodigal son offering explanations for his disappearance and return. [May 2020, p.65]

Q MagazineApr 7, 2020An album that dares to tackle life's big questions head on. [Jun 2020, p.101]

Apr 2, 2020Bold production choices gel with this collaborative energy for an album that's inspired, driven, and sounds moved by the hand of unseen powers.
