This album is fucking amazing lol. It's hard to find music out there that depicts real shit that is ACTUALLY going on today, not what the powers that be want you to hear. Not being afraid to fall away from what's popular and what type of songs will give u the best chance to make a quick buck is not something that a lot of artists are willing to do. It's obvious to me when artists are only making music for the money (or to try and get money) vs artists like lock who are genuinely making music because it's what they love, it's their art, it's what they do, and what they are good at and it fucking shows in the quality and content of the product! Oh and props for being one of the only hip hop artist to actually go to college and not be ashamed of it for the fear of losing some sort of bullshit "street credit". Btw after listening to the whole album i understand ur mom passed away, my condolences bro.. I could keep ranting on and on but I'll stop, lol ohhh yah my wife is not a hip hop fan and she even liked it haha
