I did.

That one hit the bin quick.

Had 2-3 good tracks though.

word...well I like the whole album, but mainly because I am a fan of Blueprint using classic breaks and I like Envelope's voice and flow, I guess he might be an acquired taste though.

You can't front on the production on this, Printmatic is ill.

Yeah, the downside was def. the MC. Just kinda flat for me.

I really liked this album.

"Lookin' In" is a beast of a song.
Print kills the production.

I think Envelope has a dope style that a lot of people would dig, but it seems tastes have abandoned his content.
This would have been regarded as a "must hear" album on this site 3 years ago.
I won't be putting this album on any top lists come december, but it definitely deserves to recognition as a solid album from a rapper with a ton of potential and the right friends to push him to the next level.

blueprint has good production, but envelope sounds too much like BP.
