1. D-Boyz: 5/10. Danny sonically sounds so different compared to features. I didn’t find this as hard as I was expecting.
2. Keeps It 100: 4/10. Not a fan of the effect/echo/layering on the voices. The hook is a little too busy for me with the angelic sounds in the back. Trick Trick’s verse wasnt for me.
3. Murder Game: 3/10. Beat seems hollow. I enjoy Danny’s aggressiveness but do not like Guilty Simpson’s verse.
4. Gametime: 5/10. Love the beat, great flow. Has a 90 second outro that is not needed.
5. Black: 6/10. Flow is wild, he is spitting crazy. “Knock out ya grill like you was chewin’ loads of peanut brittle” is hilarious.
6. LOL: 4/10. Feels like the mixing is off, the vocals are so far in the back. Hook is pretty juvenile.
7. On My S#!+: 6/10. Sounds like he just went in the booth and freestyled. Full of hilarious bars and fresh flow.
8. Bag Back: 5/10. Love the beat, not many stand out lyrics.
9. Contra: 7/10. Cutty reference again. David Archuleta shoutout is hilarious. Flow is great, lyrics rad, head bobbing track.
10. Fruit Cocktail: 5/10. Wish the sound or bass was fuller. Lyrics and flow great but the beat is not giving it justice.
11. Counterfeit: 8/10. Hilarious storytelling and amazing juxtaposition on the beat.
12. The Wizard: 7/10. Great closer. Production great on this one. Very full and whole sounding.
Overall Mathematical Rating: 5.4/10
Does the heart agree?: Yes. Preferred DSOM3 over this and feels on par with DSOM2. Felt a little underwhelming, especially knowing he is releasing his debut album 2 days later.
Song to listen to: Contra
