    Loved this album, flows so effortlessly and like OJ said I love short songs since they make me want to come back for more individually speaking. The production is so crisp, makes me feel like I'm chillin at a diner next to some old jukebox...let's talk about how Scared Money might be one of the grooviest things in existence.

    We really been blessed with this album.

    Is it just me of do the keys loop on What More Can I Say a bit reminiscent of Fall in Love by Slum Village?

    Just played them side by side, I can see a similarity but I see it more on the kicks & snares. Jaydee would be proud of this record I wonder how much of this is original or sample-based?

    He's a really lowkey producer with an insane workrate. Produces lo-fi stuff that's f---ing great IMO

    I'm assuming it's sample heavy this record but wouldn't be surprised if Knxwledge made these from scratch either.
    Knxwledge is a prolific producer. Very jazzy hip hop/trip hop orientated with some soul as well.

    Paak is a really soulful rnb singer/rapper. He's got a very distinct raspy voice and was featured on Dre's Compton last year.

    A good starting point is Venice or Malibu or even this album to get acquainted to Paak's style imo.

    Bet, I like both those songs.
    Yeah I remember him being on Compton (and @Nori of all people forseeing his glo up) but it's been so long I don't recall. Ima definitely peep this in a bit, I want to finish the last few songs on Woptober first.
