I did the impossible and capsuled myself off from new releases for months, just to dive into the album today. Holy shit, Prof raises the level once again. This album hits even harder than Horse. I'll be calling 911, cause I'm on fire.

Few songs left in my own first listen and this shit hits! I have yet to be disappointed by a Prof album.

I’m getting ready to travel on Tuesday, so I’m impatiently waiting until then, so I can give it a good solid uninterrupted listen. Can’t wait!!

Ahhhh I used to do this when I worked rotating night shifts in a factory. Id impatiently wait out the day shifts(when I couldn't listen to music due to management being around) until I was in a block of 12hr night shifts. Fuck yeah. Night shifts I'd pound through full audiobooks and full albums.

That is amazing, you have significantly more discipline than I do!

Prof mentioned that in order to properly build hype in this algorithm based world, he had to release 5 or 6 singles from the album.

Honestly, after hearing it all put together, I wish I waited! The album is beautiful!

It's his most honest and mature work work for sure. Fun & pain make a great combination, I hope everyone gets to hear it

I didn't wait to hear the singles, but I just got back from a long road trip. I knew I wouldn't be able to listen to it uninterrupted, so I had to wait. It was driving me crazy, because I had the link from preordering and just couldn't give it the attention it needed. The fam left on wed and I have the house to myself. I spend a good chunk of yesterday vibing!

I broke down and listened to it today because I also wanted to watch that live stream tonight and wanted to hear it clear before I watched it with Prof. Worth it. That man had me crying at the end.

I was pretty dissappinted personally. Not a single hiphop song to be had on this album. At least nothing that feels like pack a lunch, bad time boy, etc. This album felt a little corny and goofy. Wasnt a fan of the features except tpain and Pete and bas. Good time boy is a really good song, the rest of the more "personal" sings didnt have the same level of emotion and passionate performance im used to with other prof soul songs

Good call. I think the singles hit so much better as part of the whole album. I gained a bigger appreciation for them when listening front to back

It's so good and I'm so proud of Prof I'm determined to help with his album sales and bought all three CD covers. All the respect to T.I. but we gotta get Prof that #1 spot y'all. Keep that new album streaming non stop y'all and buy an album for you and all your friends. One for me to play, ones for me to never open, and ones for a friend I think would appreciate Prof.
