Summary: Discovered this album because of rateyourmusic and I'm shocked to not see much chatter about this album when I google it. Pitchfork didn't even review it. I know rap isn't my specialty, but the album reminds me a little bit of kendrick, chance, the roots, and the music sounds good. There are a lot of guest features so it doesn't get too boring hearing the same voice over and over. But for the most part, I really like McKinley's flow.

Key Tracks: make a poet Black, protective styles, Mama's Home
