    That Professor X/Arabian Prince electro jam sounds fresh.

    Need to check out Smile 2. Didn’t think much of the first one, but keep hearing the sequel is a big improvement.

      Massive improvement. Still total It Follows-core, but very enjoyable.

    Aside from the album's opener, 1984 was my favorite joint off that Kurious album as well.

    Did you listen to C-Loc's new album? Haven't checked it myself yet but out of all 90's rap OG's making a comeback, C-Loc wasn't the highest on my list.

      I've seen various new singles of his pop up on YouTube, but I've never bothered to listen to them.

      Tha Algorithm recommended all of those new C-Loc songs to me and I checked out most of them. Grown-man rap full of earnestness, it’s decent/solid depending on the song, but my mind isn’t blown. I’d say Young Bleed still has that extra thing that makes his recent material stand out more.

    Most accurately concise review of Smile (2022).

    Fred, Bleed's just got that effortless, timeless Rap style.
