(C)

Consequence wants a software program replace.

Actual ones perceive that Kanye West’s musical journey wouldn’t be the identical with out Consequence. Consequence has been instrumental in writing a few of Kanye’s tracks and stays considered one of his staunchest supporters. After a 14-year hiatus, he’s made his comeback with a brand new album titled Good Doing Enterprise with You.

This album positively feels prefer it was made in 2005. It primarily options soulful, conventional hip-hop manufacturing, very simple rap types (Don’t anticipate to listen to colourful melodies or quick flows), and lyrics stuffed with outdated individuals flexing. There isn’t a touch of contemporary hip-hop vibes, which is okay, I assume. I don’t assume the challenge is unhealthy; it simply sounds severely outdated.

I used to be able to obtain the tracks from this challenge that includes Kanye West and YNW Melly, however I didn’t even need them.

Favourite Tracks: “No Apologies,” “Overdose,” “Love You So.”

Actually, this challenge is tremendous entertaining from begin to end.
