May 30, 2019 This is grown-up Denzel material, he's still embracing his Florida roots but he completely sounds more assured and nuanced despite his age. It's focused and he's showing his growth as a songwriter, these tracks feel holistic as you climb down the tracklist. Might not be as aesthetically pleasing or innovative as Nostalgic 64, but this is the direction I want to see him going; still keeping those same elements but slowly fazing it out as his career progresses.
Jun 2, 2019 Solid album. 7.5/10. Lyrically and sonically, it's a step down from TA13OO but still really solid, there's some solid Lyricism and production is still d--- good. He still made a solid a--- album inspite of going down lyrically Just shows how incredible this guy is when he's at his best lyrically and sonically, TA13OO was incredible. Features however could've been better. Rick Ross and PTBZ did their thang well tho. Interludes were kind of unnecessary, would've loved if he had another 2-3 bangers, maybe one ft. Zillakami. Hooks are catchy as a mothafucka on here.
Jun 2, 2019 Its crazy how well he captures the sound of Florida on this - everything from 2 Live Crew to Trick Daddy to Raider Klan. I've always thought of the FL scene as kinda disjointed, all kinds of different things happening all over the place, this may be one of the best, most cohesive tributes to the entire state I've heard. BIRDZ is stupid hard, Rozay x Denzel are 2 for 2
