Yeah, and while I'm fine with him continuing to move outside the standard boundaries of hip hop, I completely agree with you that it mostly sounds like a continuation of what he's been doing since... how long? Which on the one hand is fine, because we know it will be quality. But I'd like to hear him switch stuff up a bit more, both vocally and musically.
That said, I thought the drum programming on this track was great... and I *think* this is actually Saul's production, which shows big strides on his part I think.
>The joint at the end sounds dope tho
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - looking forward to hearing that one.
