    Some great songs with the some great featured Artist, The record breaking verse in Godzilla is jaw dropping.
    Personally my favorite is No regrets. Just love that song and the feature.

    The pure genius that can be witnessed within this project it's a new high for an artist who has managed to break records and push the boundaries when it comes to meaningful lyrics and embrace the definition of rap and it's honestly a breath of fresh air given the belittling level of lyricism in the new supposed rap genre.
