    This is an incredible album, I went into this project without any expectations, I've never been a fan and this album made me an fan, the production is often incredibly soulful and even the turn up, trap influenced tracks are well produced and the features fit the songs. I wish Kanye would have delivered a verse but other than that every track delivered, this is definitely the best effortThis is an incredible album, I went into this project without any expectations, I've never been a fan and this album made me an fan, the production is often incredibly soulful and even the turn up, trap influenced tracks are well produced and the features fit the songs. I wish Kanye would have delivered a verse but other than that every track delivered, this is definitely the best effort Ty Dolla $ign has put out yet. I recommend checking this out, it might just surprise you.… Expand

    Free TC demonstrates Ty Dolla $ign's unique skills as an R&B singer/west-coast rapper. I wasn't quite sure whether he'd be able to construct a consistently good project, but Free TC is exactly that and more. It's a great debut album, especially so for an artist that has a very unique vocal style. Ty Dolla's future looks bright. ~ 8.0/10

    Dollar $'s Free TC's is a refreshing refined album. Close to his heart, true to himself, it has a great used of features, to keep the album interesting. Musically it is very well done.

    Why do people on here keep saying Ty is a rapper? Ty is not a rapper, he even says so himself. I think people don't understand what a rapper is. hint: they need to actually RAP. Ty has never once rapped. Ever.

    Anyway, the album is alright, some dope songs, but its not what I was expecting after listening to Sign language and Airplane mode. Was hoping more of that deep newschool    Why do people on here keep saying Ty is a rapper? Ty is not a rapper, he even says so himself.

    Men! Ty Dolla $ign fooled me on the majority of this album. In fact, if the album only contained the first 8 songs and Blase, it could have easily been the best RnB album I have heard this year, but his attempt for mass appeal with the other tracks ruined this otherwise excellent album. You gained a new fan, TY $.

    Free TC moves way less outside contribution than expected. [Dec/Jan 2016, p.90]

    The recorded calls between Ty and his brother that crop up repeatedly develop their characters while the story, for T.C. at least, remains stagnant. Free T.C. places an emphasis on the intimate, human relationship between these two men.

    Free TC, dedicated to Dolla $ign's currently incarcerated brother, marries a diverse range of earworm-level hooks and genre-bridging rhythms to uncomfortably base themes.
