New Lupe. It's a long one, 24 tracks at around 90 minutes. Haven't finished it and I'll be listening another 2-3 times before I get a full opinion on it but so far it's amazing.

I've listened for about 20 minutes now,and my opinion as of yet,its a very varied
album,from beats/compositions to lyrical content,i don't think i'd buy it though to
be honest,and i think after 4-5 plays i'd grow tired of it,it's not an album i could have
on repeat,although i find it's direction to be to overpowering on my senses in parts.
peace.

The second half casts a shadow over the first. It gets better.

Right so i listened to the rest of the album now,and you was right it did get
better,it now makes the 1st 20 minutes i listened too seem like a skit,i feel
the length of this album warms you too it overall,and yes ill play this more
than 5 times now on reflection,still don't know if I'd buy it though,it's one of
those albums that creep on you,and i guess the more you hear it the better
it gets,yeah it grew on me...peace.

Man this album... Its in my top 5 for sure. I feel like every track has its reason and meaning for being on the record and I'm happy it's as long as it is.

I absolutely love how he approached the Alan and Jonylah stories. I was not familiar with the Jonylah story but the Alan Kurdi imagine will forever be imprinted on my eyelids.

The metaphors in X0 were stupid dope and it just keeps getting better. I'm note even gonna talk about all the songs individually. Do yourself a pleasure and get this.

Bro... this album is straight heat. I'm a few songs in and highly impressed. Lupe has always been one of my favorite artists. His creativity and vision are top tier in the industry. this album is a must listen.
