is
's first self-produced album for his own label,
, and it definitely benefits from being released by a boutique. Aside from the features, which come from friends rather than fortune-makers,
finds
back to doing what he did when he first began recording: simply curating excellent productions instead of wooing a new audience by creating expressly written songs or telling a story with his full-lengths. A couple of the instrumentals here are entirely constructed from samples (starting with the opener
), and they create a fractured sense of swing -- especially since they sit so well next to slightly more "played" productions.
's guests are singers more than rappers (with just a few exceptions), so the R&B vibe behind
(featuring
) and the infectious, horn-led
) is palpable. Whether
needed a reset or not after leaving his previous label,
shows him relaxed and happy being his own boss. ~ John Bush
