Definitely, this album needs to be on more people's radar, it should be a quality release...

Grieves is cool, ive only heard 88 Keys and Irreversible. 88 Keys was dope and Irreversible was kinda a weaker album, had dope tracks but a few lame ones that i felt shouldnt be on the album. i will def check this out Budo is awesome with the beats.

Grieves is one goofy looking guy tho haha. i see his youtube videos and cant help but laugh sometimes.

hahaha I feel the same way with Fashawn but it's neither here nor there... appreciate them both greatly as musicians etc.

I haven't heard irreversible, Atmosphere just put the album up on their status though via Facebook to get him some fans and attention, hopefully get him some more fans... looking forward to the album!!

Liking the sound of this one... Grieves seems to be putting in a lot of groundwork for this release via social networks, looking forward to it!

Album leaked. Its pretty decent. i cant say its my favorite Grieves album but its worth the listen for any Rhymesayers/Grieves fan. 7/10 tbh. i know the dude sings but he doesnt have to do it on every song. alot of the songs sound the same too, subjects dealing with his past addictions and what not.

Great album. Grieves is a rapper that caught my eye a few months ago and I'm glad I followed up on that intrigue. Very reminiscent of his Rhymesayers brethren Brother Ali and Slug. Very heartfelt and poetic rhymes. The producer here provides mostly softer and subtle backdrops for Grieves to rip, sometimes the beats are not dynamic enough tho, and some beats are too similar, but they are mostly very complimentary to Grieves lyrics and the mood of his songs. I'm gonna be listening to this one for a while. 4/5 right now, and thats usually a good mark from me.

Coppin' this album next month, so I don't want to listen to it yet. But his 88 Keys and Counting was a really great album and if you've not heard that, you should check it out :tu

Only heard this album and his previous EP The COnfessions of Mr Modest. I enjoy the new album more than that EP tho, and I quite enjoyed that EP. The songs on this album just have better production and seem more "complete" than the songs on Mr Modest.

Seriously though, 88 Keys and Counting got great reviews on the few blogs that caught onto it, well worth checking out...

Production on this is incredible:

Yeah 88 Keys is my favorite release. If thats your fave ruff draft i dont think this album will top it but it is still a very good listen

I kinda figured that it'd be hard to live up to... that said, I'm still a fan of him as an artist and will look to support him along with others over at UGHH.

How's the production in comparison? Is it on the same level or is it some way off?

 

[Lou Cypher]

Id say its same level. its still pretty dope. alot of Dark stuff. Production imo matches perfectly with the content of every song.

Sounds good, looking forward to coppin' it, props on the feedback :tu

But it's all about Kendrick Lamar tomorrow... can't wait to hear that now...

given this a solid 2X playthrough and it is a solid album from front to back, Honestly i was skeptical, never really hearing any previous releases but rhymesayers delivers...
