Moments Worth Waiting For
The aggressive synth sirens on the opening title track that immediately signal a return to Compton street narratives.
The smooth, jazz-inflected electric piano chords on Soft Rhodes providing a rare moment of melodic breathing room.
The heavy, distorted low-end on Purp and Yellow that demands a high-quality subwoofer to fully experience.
