    There’s enough here to make even the most discerning New Rap playlist – but as a body of work it doesn’t land in the effortless fashion that made EARTHGANG such a pivotal pairing.

    The duo really find themselves in a new space here, bringing their signature psychedelic/creative bars and flows and meeting them with very of the times trap production.

    All in all this is a very easy listening project and it oozes chill vibes in the best ways… This can be thrown on in the background and folks might just be jamming to it, but if you sit with it and listen in on the lyrics, the experience is much different and I really love that duality...

    Favorite tracks are GHETTO GODS, ALL EYES ON ME, And SMOKE SUM.
