Alright, this joint is only ‘bout 20 minutes, like a quick Afrobeats drop. So let’s see if it slaps.
1. National Anthem - From the cover art, I knew this was gon' be on some experimental tip. Dude’s voice kinda out there; this barely sounds like rap. Can’t tell if this a skit or what, yo. Oh, now he rappin’, that was just kinda an intro. The beat's kinda trappy. He bringin’ that energy, though, gotta give him that. Bars are kinda weak. He almost hit that stride in the second verse but then just bailed.

2. Death & Taxxxes - Aight, the intro on this one kinda decent. My guy out here sayin' “okay, okay” like a broken record, but it’s workin’ somehow. Lyrics got a lil’ more punch here, and I’m vibin' with his voice. He chillin', not too serious, but he ain’t slackin’ either. This track? I rock with it.

3. I'm Kool - Yo, this joint’s smooth, but it ain't really poppin' too much. Son’s spittin' now, and the beat's hittin' way harder. Whoa, now he’s flowin’ like a beast. Got that J. Cole vibe but with a little grit. That ending's straight fire, like the cherry on top.

4. Introverted Extrovert ft. Ab-Soul - Ayo, this one's nice! Ab-Soul's flowin' smooth like butter. Lyrics are tight too. Kembe X did his thing, ain't no Ab-Soul, but he held it down.

5. Air Bae - This beat’s bangin', but the rhymes be kinda basic, namsayin'. Sounds like he’s tryin’ to bite Baby Keem’s style. That hook? Nah, not it. But yo, the second verse? Way better! And that outro’s pretty dope too.

6. British ft. TF - Ayo, what even is this? Is this British drill or just a joke? That flow and voice? Mad annoying. The hook? Ugh, stop it. Whoever’s moanin’ on that hook, probably TF, needs to be sent back to the Dollar Store for rappers. And Kembe X is rapping like he can’t catch his breath. I can’t even focus on the lyrics 'cause I’m worried this dude’s gonna need a CPR rescue. And what’s this beat? Sounds like they recorded it on an electrocardiogram! Get a real beat, fam.

7. Spilled Milk - Yo, this intro’s kinda fly but low-key generic. Ayo, the beat just dropped, and it’s hittin’ pretty hard.
But check it, the flow’s weak, like, the rhymes ain’t poppin’—just some lazy vibes. That last bit with the beat? Straight up tryin' to be hard rock, but it’s a flop.

8. Neck on the Loose - Ayo, this intro slaps! The flow’s kinda like some YouTube parody rap, but it’s still got a vibe. The first verse got some nice bars, but it’s givin’ me mad Eminem vibes like when Em sounded like he was rappin' while choppin’ up veggies on his album. But yo, that hook? Pure fire, real hypnotic.

9. Arizona Summer Hope - This joint’s interesting. The beat’s got that guitar feel. We’ll see if it hits or misses. Feels like some John Denver injected up in a trap album for no reason, namsayin'? Can’t tell if he’s dissin’ the chick he's talkin' about or just playin’. This track's just kinda whateva.

This ain't good. For whateva genre it's in, yo, maybe this slaps, but for me? Nah, I ain't vibin' wit' this, word. I'mma keep it real wit' y'all, I'm a boom bap, G-Funk, P-funk kinda hiphop listener, this new fancy experimental ish ain't my lane. But yo, that, might just be my ears, son. It's like if I was into movie reviews n shit, I ain't gonna be watchin' Cocomelon sayin "AYO, this BUSTA AUTHOR AIN'T GOT NO PLOT, B!!!" Maybe the boy's fans'll love it, I don't know. So there y'all have it - the tape ain't my cup of tea, but there's some promise, yo, some of this ain't ALL THE WAY wack, b. I'm out, peace.
