I think that my high expectations led me to being disappointed by this project. Although it’s not outwardly bad, the EP feels a bit dry and only touches the surface of what this trio is capable of. I’d still be interested in hearing a full-length LP from Blu x Mickey Factz x Nottz, but not in this direction.
