Good to see this song nominated for the EOY, it’s great. And yes, Jae5 deserves equal billing.

So it looks like the next album is going to be just as good as Common Sense

Great stuff, fantastic production, yet again (that bass! the trumpets!), and it’s not even by Jae5 - this is a TobiShyBoy joint.

Going to take some beating in 2020 this album.

oh wow, the album is out?!!

features by Burna
and Koffee

...and iceé tgm (?)
really enjoying this but it's a bit of a different vibe to common sense. there's less of the summery pop that made up a good portion of common sense and the beats are generally moodier and a little more low-key. really like the one with koffee and "must be" sounds even better in context of the album

this implies there's probably another track going to be added to the album, with ella mai?

This is terrific!

loving this, though it feels distinctly wrong to be listening in broad daylight

whatever is going on with his voice on the chorus of "Triumph" is amazing

Superb album. It sounds incredibly good. Lots of people on top of their game here. Also:

I'm getting super into this. anyone read the pfork review? some really iffy lines in it...
― rob, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 22:16 (four years ago) link
It’s also a prime example of a review that almost exclusively focuses on the lyrics (in a very uninteresting way at that) and barely acknowledges the music* and the production* (no mention of the features either).*which are spectacularly good - reviewer, why not expand on this?

"must be" sounds even better in context of the album
Agreed, this applies to No Denying as well. There aren't as many stand out single tracks like Did You See but I think it works better as a whole than Common Sense

no posts since april - mirrors my experience, I m/l forgot about this album in the interim as well, but we're reunited baby and IT FEELS SO GOOD. for one, as love duets with Ella Mai go, I might like "One and Only" even better than "Piece Of Me". this thing is going to end up really high on my ballot.

also, "Cucumber".

I def listened to it over the summer a few times, but given that I apparently forgot Ella Mai was even on it, I am obvs due for a revisit!
― rob, Sunday, 3 January 2021 21:23 (three years ago) link
“triumph” is prob the most traditional rap song on here but it’s the one that speaks to me the mosf

huh for some reason that Ella Mai track isn't on my version of this
― rob, Sunday, 3 January 2021 21:30 (three years ago) link
it's track 12 of 14 here.
but, per Wikipedia:
Notes: The album's tracklist was updated on 4 February 2020 to include the song "One and Only".

ah ok I was too eager I guess. Great song, glad they worked out whatever the issue was
― rob, Sunday, 3 January 2021 21:40 (three years ago) link
iirc it was a delay with a sample clearance or something
i've been consistently listening to this all year and it's still just as good

new music at last, album seems to be titled don't say militancy
unfortunately jae5's said he's not involved with the album at all because he wanted hus to do something with more emotional depth but hus just wanted to make a party record this time

somehow j hus produced by p2j is just underwhelming? he's just not the right sort of vocalist to really fit with this sort of afrobeats, and drake's presence is completely forgettable (also surprising that drake hasn't gotten p2j to produce for him before)
― ufo, Thursday, 8 June 2023 21:23 (ten months ago) link
new album (actually titled beautiful and brutal yard) is definitely his weakest - not bad but a very noticeable step down, there's a bunch of softer beats that just don't work for him, as well and far too many ridiculously terrible sex raps
