Its here, Defcee's new album that's an example of hard work, struggle, and lyricism.

Holding 13 tracks, we got our first listen of this project through the posse cut "PupleWaterSugarDrank" featuring Noname Gypsy, Saba, Joseph Chilliams, and Benjamin Earl Turner. Singles like "Timeless" and "Noir" demonstrated more of his rap ability combined with great content and are great additions to this album. "Damn Near Grown" has one of best ending tracks on any album, where you can literally imagining one self reflecting on how far you've come from whatever struggle you've face and being happy where you are as the sun slowly sets. The song "Sunsets" is track that makes you warm in side add that touch of human emotion that the listener finds relate-able. So start at 1 because its worth it.
