Second effort of the year for Elcamino, who wants to quickly register his name in the game. Produced entirely by DJ Shay, it starts with a skit on a light and tight jazzy rhythm, then on a similar rhythm pounces on the title track with a good delivery around the cornets. "Two-Tone Joint" has a light, essential, simple, tight jazzy rhythm, with bad soul sample looped in the background, good inspired delivery by Elcamino. The fourth choice is the best of the EP: exceptional production, light and tight jazzy rhythm, piano dope, female soulful sample looped in the background, creating an ethereal mood on which Elcamino can express himself between slow and flowing delivery and a spoken hook. "Break Bread" follows, another excellent track on which the rapper's delivery is slow and smoothness, excellent, in a clean song, smooth thanks to a simple and essential jazzy rhythm. The quality drops slightly in the finale, "Strolling Down Rodeo" has a tight, light, essential jazzy rhythm with female soul samples looped in the background on which Elcamino delivers inspired. Instead, the next one features a simple and minimal drum machine, tight, deep jazzy rhythm, good rapper delivery. It closes "Can't Be Saved": splendid essential, skeletal jazzy rhythm, with guitar licks looped in the background, functional and passable hook, fast, good slow and syncopated delivery of Elcamino, supported by the rhythm. 7.5/10.
