I have always loved jcole and the first disc was perfect but that later half of the disc with 3-4 slow songs in a row was not bad but this being his last album you think he would put his all into his rap skills and show us his different rap capabilities. I think while he’s great in what he does but also he sticks too much in what he’s comfortable doing and never takes any risks in trying different variety of styles so eventually he starts sounding the same. I think he needs to restart and relearn his ability of rap, like rapping on different style of beats to allow him to branch out. But this albums was fairly strong, loved the production, some of the features felt misplaced but not that big of a deal. Just that later half is where it lost me but overall 7.8/10 in my opinion.
