    I was very disappointed in this album. I was somewhat excited going into it but I don't even think there was one song worth keeping. I expect better from you Ferg.

    The problem is that Ferg fails to provide a coherent musical vision to go with these compelling reminiscences.

    Some songs function well as singularities, particularly “New Level” and “Grandma,” which showcase a few of Ferg’s best qualities in spurts, but as a complete work, Always Strive and Prosper is a misfire that presses to be greater than the sum of its parts.

    That title is the rapper’s motto for the project and he accomplishes both. Not only does he strive to become a better, more diverse artist, he definitely prospers in more ways than one as he continues to make a name for himself as one of New York’s biggest talents.
