I also miss that and loved his flows on this album. Agree that it's not *exactly* boom bap but it certainly resembles that boom bap sound more than a lot of new hip-hop the last few years.

Totally agree. I was particularly starting to get that impression (Solemn's ability to fit his flow to the beat) on "Tales from the East" and then kept my ear on that for the rest of the album.

Really well done album, great beats/production (as seems to always be the case w/L'Orange productions) and Solemn is nice on the mic. Def some good themes on here as well. This will be in rotation for a while.

I will say that while I don't really fully "get" the skits/interludes yet, the "Eddy Appetite's House of Definitely Legal Oddities" skit has been cracking me up for some reason.
