Well this was all I expected: great beats, dope rhymes, well produced. Nothing surprising here, Elite just does his thing as usual. He's improved so much and I am pumped for the rest of his career.

The quality of the production throughout the album... wow!!! On a purely instrumental level, this is the best album I've heard in years. Hell, this is on a level of its own: no one's making hip hop albums with this much live instruments, so exquisitely played. This is organic!
It's crazy how something this amazing is released for free, and even crazier how so many people will miss this one because it was not hyped. This sh!t cray!!! PS: I'll get as many people I can to listen to this. My Mum included. |

What about Elite though? I won't say he's a great rapper. He's rather a great artist, with a genuine musical vision and an amazing gift to deliver his creativity through rapping and singing, sometimes a blend of the two, but essentially a natural process and you won't question his direction. It feels like you've known him as an artist for long after you've heard the album, as if greatness was just Elite's normal stuff.
