unVEil - 4.5/5 this beat is dope, good rhymes. really good song. will stay in rotation
But I Can Be - 4.5/5 black milk needs to get more work. these beats are so good. he does a good job with the vocals but throw elzhi and royce on this?? still good song and should stay in rotation
Could It Be - 5/5 awesome beat, doesnt even need vocals. i could zone out to this beat by itself. dope rhymes too though. one of his best songs. definitely will stay in rotation.
2 Would Try - 4.5/5 this beat is fire. those horns man. this song takes me back to my detroit days. another rotation track.
Laugh Now Cry Later - 4.5/5 good song but i start feeling like more of the same. would be cool if black milk had a few different styles on the mic to keep it interesting. another song for the rotation though.
True Lies - 4/5 dope beat, of course. good rhymes but really starts sounding repetitive in the album. has an interlude type vibe. might not stay in rotation
Drown - 4.5/5 really good song but again, more of the same. lyrics are dope and the beat change is nice. another rotation track.
DiVE - 5/5 love this beat, awesome just being an instrumental. i could see this being turned into a full song but it doesnt need any vocals. definitely will stay in rotation.
Foe Friend - 5/5 dope song, the beat is great and the rhymes are great. interesting track. i do appreciate that black milk typically has songs that are about something and not just spitting. definitely will stay in rotation.
Will Remain - 5/5 great song, this beat is so dope. i like how he rhymes on this. might be my fav of the album. this sounds like a mix of quik/gfunk/dilla but 100% black milk. rotation for sure.
You Like to Risk it All/Things Will Never Be - 5/5 one of his best songs again. this is top black milk on the mic and beat. definitely will stay in rotation.
definitely a great album. some songs i could do without but maybe one or two. would definitely want more solo black albums but also would love to see him produce an album for someone else or maybe even have one with different featured artists.

I always wanted him and Pharoahe Monch to team up for a full album. Let's Go off of Desire to too good.
there comes a time in every mans life when he's gotta handle shit up on his own Can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze, please they got problems of their own---slim kid3
I've had this on non-stop repeat since I got it last weekend. He just keeps getting better and better.

but the beats are so fucking lush.
Black Milk is a problem, including that he rarely gets work on other people's albums LOL. this album has a real Roots vibe to it honestly, like if you got a new joint from them that had zero verses from Black Thought.
