Grimm provides surprising subject matter due to the fact he spent such little time on his verses, but on songs like "Stress Box," Grimm speaks on the downfalls of fame and how it is getting in the way from keeping up with past friends/acquaintances. but when it comes to rappers y'all just little whipper snappers."

I wouldn't fully call this an MC drowning in the production as Bishop Nehru does keep an interesting flow throughout the project and provides an interesting subject matter that keeps you engaged as you listen. Doom's production is solid as always and the standout aspect of the project, Nehru does display interesting patterns about his rapping style but the main reason for listening to the album is for Doom's beats. This collaboration includes Doom producing the beats for young and upcoming rapper Bishop Nehru.
