And good audio quality - the SAME audio quality on all tracks? I can only hope but I wouldn't bet on it.
I mean look at this tracklist and tell me how many (old but in the best case unreleased) Holo verses it'll consist of? How many verses does it take to stitch together an album like this? 12 only? Sure there's new (?) KP verses and all. But right now I'be reached the point : leave Holo in peace. Is he profiting from this album? Does he know it's dropping? Are any of the artists or producers featured on the album even in touch with him at this point?
I guess the writing was on the wall when I decided not to buy the last similar effort, even though I listened to it quite a bit and it even sound good as an album. But I didn't buy it like I did with all of his previous output.
I mean, are they gonna pair Holo with another Killa Bee every new year, search the vaults for ten to twelve verses and have American Poets et all supply new verses to flesh out an album?
IDK man I'm having a hard time with this right now. Three years ago I would have been as enthusiastic as everybody above me in this thread. But today I feel like we're listening to questionably put together archived material from an artist who is not a recording artist in 2022. Some Elvis type stuff. 2025 : Holocaust meets the London Symphonic Orchestra.
