On his first full-length album since 2019, XV continues to set the standard over menacing Mike Summers production. Winter Wolves is a sub heavy, gritty, hard hitting project, just as cold as the season it references. Howls can be heard throughout the album, evoking the wolf moniker and fitting the cover art/thematic aspects perfectly.
XV hasn't lost a beat, experimenting with flows and patterns as he's been known to do after decades in this game. The project features the likes of Caleb Carnell, Jeezmino, and Tarik, all of which make solid contributions to an overall nice body of work.
