Kota the Friend is the lyricist and producer of this lo-fi tape. He chooses a decent melodic jazz loop that sounds the same most of the time, and he performs competent conscious verses: his lyricism is frayed, it appears with a mix of not fully explored thoughts and annotations lined up casually playing almost against the minimal nature of the project. Consisting of ten very short songs — none beyond 110 seconds — for a total of about fourteen minutes of listening, it's a good relaxed effort, interpreted with regular rap: there are several interesting choices in this quarter of an hour, including letting all the rhythms breathe for a few seconds and giving up the hook, however, nothing here is memorable. 6/10.
