This guy has some good flow. The beats are nice too. I just feel like hes a little dull with expressing his style. His flow sounds similar in every track. But I'm feeling this album! especially track #4

I can agree with Tuen! Being part of the album, I have seen how hard BenniB and his manager Jon Holman work! They've got something good here! I'm really digging Nomad!

Good mix tape, some good beats, good flow and good lyrics. Some clubby sounding beats which I like as it's something you only really hear with pop crap normally.
