Yo Fats, somehow I missed this one. Was just thinking when it would be dropped and I saw you posted it already. Could you hit me with another link? They're all dead here already (no wonder).

Well, very brave title on the first place. I know he has his own reason why he gave this title to this record, nonetheless it's dangerous because it raises expectations already before even hearing it. Of course how else could it have happened to me if not like this? He did the right thing though: he hits the listener with a very dope, rhythmical start so you are not disappointed, at least, when listening the first joint. I like "365". It summarizes everything. It's like an Intro and an Outro combined in one track with good pace. "Welcome" with its Hare Kryshna sample beat is a bit odd but keeps on the typical Black Milk flow on to the next track: "Keep Going" which is an example of a new (since Tronic) Black Milk style broken drummed beat, which I personally enjoy. "Deadly Medley" is dope as it is. Good to hear Royce spitting over a quality beat again, not only over those Slaughterhouse *$&"·# beats. The tracks I would still highlight are "Round Of Applause" whose last 2 minutes form a great journey through various instrumentals, a bit reminding me on Dilla's "African Rhythms" from Welcome 2 Detroit and "Gospel Psychedelic Rock" where he created very dope tunes from the sample he shows at the beginning. The whole album is entirely accompanied by real sounds of bassguitar, good vocals and the drums, oh those drums... Album of the year? Unfortunately not, but still another dope Black Milk album to listen to.
