    In 2023, no hip hop album topped this one for me, and Backwoodz absolutely crushed it. The artwork is stunning, and the record is thick and perfectly flat. The sound quality is impeccable. Truly an outstanding release. Fluance RT-81 TTOrtofon 2M blue stylus Fluance PA-10 preamp Pioneer VSX-516 ReceiverMarantz SX-9 SpeakersKlipsch R-101 SW

    Snagged a mint condition copy at a local vinyl fair for a hundred bucks. There's a bit of wear on the packaging, but nothing that messes with the sound. This record's mastering is top-notch, especially the bass, which beats the digital version hands down. The music and lyrics? You already know it's out of this world. Totally worth every cent.

    Without a doubt, this is my top pick for a hip hop album released in 2022. It's truly in a league of its own. And I gotta agree with what everyone else is saying, this pressing is practically flawless.
