[Raids-God]

2nd Best Album this year

It's in my top 3 of the year so far, along with W.A.R. & Oneirology.

I think it actually topped everyone's expectations, even after that many years of being delayed.

The album doesn't have a bad track. The lyrics are "toned down", as everyone was expecting a hardcore street album. However, this is by no means a bad thing. Saigon shows that he has matured, both lyrically & musically. The rhyming is as superb as ever, he has a really great flow & his subject matter reflects on stuff that is still very relevant nowadays. The features were great, although I must say I wasn't too fond of Jay-Z's verse on 'Come On Baby', to me he sounded lazy. Black Thought shined on 'Too Long', hats off to him.

The production on the album is great as well. Just Blaze is one of my favorite producers, and his chemistry with Saigon is amazing. It has a very soulful sound, and compliments Sai's lyrics well.
Basically the only complaint I could have concerning this album is that in some of the songs the beat somewhat drowns out the vocals, however this isn't a major issue.

Overall, this is an amazing album, well worth the wait. Saigon & Just Blaze are a great duo, and hopefull we'll get to hear more from them in the future!

My score: 9.5/10

I Must admit, the first listen was fucking Emotional how good it was,

[Xray]

So his been present since 2001 but his album only just came out? That's worse than Crooked I.

Recorded: 2005–2010

This must be the GOAT of all rap albums. I'm gonna check it. Although Just Blaze being the executive producer scares me, his beats are mostly horrible.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

another album recommended by TJ.

i have to say that i really enjoyed this,saigon does his thing lyrically,the production is dope as just blaze is a great producer but whoever done the mixing and mastering needs to get punched in the mouth,cant wait for future albums from saigon.
