    Power is amazing. This is a solid album, it definitely isn't Royce's best work. But it is without a doubt his most important & personal album to date, which I can greatly respect.

    His best is Death Is Certain but this is also d--- good. While there are a few tracks I do feel are a little boring, I say that with only listening to the album since yesterday so it could grow on me. I definitely like this much more than prhyme 2, and I feel like Layers was a warm up getting personal and introspective on songs and this is game 7.

    i hope people dont act like this isnt a classic just because its royce, this was a great listening experience, the songs were short and sweet and the storytelling was enchanting

    i think this is royces best work

    I liked the start of logics verse. But then he just started ranting.

    I can't help myself thinking that between Trust The Shooter, Layers and Book Of Ryan there is a stone cold classic album.

    Absolutely, totally agree with this statement. I don’t think anyone could convince me otherwise.

    Side note, I f---ing love Book of Ryan. Not sure where I rank it in his catalogue yet, I need to spend at least a few weeks digesting it.

    For sure though it’s on my short list of favorite 2018 albums though. Woke is my jam, s--- is too d--- short! He should remix that beat asap.

    Decided to give the album a spin

    Power and cocaine are fantastic

    Also like caterpillar, summer on lock, dumb, and first of the month a lot. Nothing else really stands out to me.

    Decent project

    Good project. Not as good as layers. Layers my fav album of his. Production is A1 sauce on that album. The best beat on this album is the parallel skit tbh.
