it seemed like there was almost no hype going into the release, so i wasn't sure what to expect, but traumazine is quite impressive imo. i'll have to revisit good news, but my first impression is that this is quite a bit stronger. if you, like me, were slightly confused by the release of "pressurelicious" w/ future as a single, rest assured that that is easily one of the least interesting cuts (tho i wouldn't call it bad). she rly shines lyrically on several of the tracks and wow "southside royalty freestyle" is such a good posse cut. "not nice" goes hard and i feel like i'm gonna have the melody to "star" w/ lucky daye popping in and out of my head through the weekend
as for "sweetest pie", tacked on at the end like a bonus track, i still can't muster anything much more enthusiastic than 'passable', but you know what, it was a cute minor hit and i kinda enjoyed when i did hear it
