Esham's 2020 is opened by a very interesting as well as irregular, deeply irregular choral production: it goes from g-funk to frenetic rhythm, from sparse boom bap to dark rhythm, passing by trap rockin' and elegant piano with female soul samples. Musically, despite all the flaws you can find inside, it's quite enjoyable; however, Esham never exploits the potential of these rhythms, he delivers tired, without ever involving the listener, detached, cold. Try a couple of horrorcore cuts with his raw voice, some dark delivery, but its flow is weak, quite flowing aight, but never exciting or impressive in any way despite the unusual duration for the time ("Football Player"). 6/10.
