Joell Ortiz comes back with an incredibly mature album that makes a statement. Joell Ortiz is an OG, is better than most other rappers, and he’s here to stay. His bars on this new album are incredibly good. He definitely hasn’t lost a step when it comes to his pen game. He gets some great features from Crooked I, Sheek Louch, and Cyhi Da Prynce on this project. There is some fantastic production from The Heatmakerz, Apollo Brown, and Salaam Remi. They each give this album the grown-up and respectable feel that it deserves. The tone is definitely set from the jump-off with the first track “In My Feelings” where Joell gives us almost a recap of his life up to this point. On songs like “OG,” Joell proves to us that you can be older in this game and still be a top tier lyricist. There really isn’t too much that can be said against this album. This is a solid effort and cements Joell Ortiz’s name in the game.
OVERALL RATING: 4 out of 5 Cheesesteaks
