Though we're nearly two weeks into the new year, it feels like it's about to be a solid year in hip-hop. Already, we've received a few great projects from Bun B x Le$, Griselda, and more. Needless to say, lyrical rap isn't dead, nor does it seem to be going anywhere soon.

Laced with a quick nine songs, the project includes appearances from a few other artists including Griselda's own Conway The Machine, as well as 24hrs, Cory Gunz, Numbers, and Steven Young.
