Complete surprise album release today. The production and mixing is top top top tier which is to be expected. This was not thrown together and I'm sure required incredible planning to release completely unnoticed and also in the middle of the day, only someone like Kendrick could do something like that with these streaming services. I love the features on this, everyone here makes sense and there are some new-er artists to me, SZA, Deyra Barrera, Ink, Wallie the Sensei, AzChike, Hitta J, Sam Dew, Dody 6, Siete, Peysoh, Young Threat. I've only listened to this two times so far; this will again require multiple listens to fully grasp the full complexity. So far, I think this is a great add after Mr. Morale and the 'heart' series that he put out this summer. It still feels unique to LA and in that classic K Dot. Thank you, Kendrick.
