Another dope concept from the Ohio native, this time its Print visits the sounds of the golden era of hip hop and more specifically, 1988. the production is a nice mixture of both old and new, using the sounds of 1988 as a starting point, then building off of that and adding unique and modern twist along the way. Print finds a nice middle ground of 80's boom bap and modern underground and makes them work together perfectly. As far as lyrics and flow go not much has changed, Prints style has always been strongly influenced by 80's hip hop anyways, its just here it sounds perfectly at home, Prints slow flow mixes perfect with the hard hitting drums and effectively updates the 80's sound and brings it in to the modern era. Songwriting as a whole is very strong, some very dope story telling and concepts are mixed in, and everything comes together and works on every level.
Overall 4/5
