Oxymoron

The album arrived as TDE gained significant momentum. It utilizes a dark, low frequency production style consistent with the mid-2010s West Coast aesthetic. The project marks a transition for the label as it shifted toward a wider audience.

Raw honesty emerges in songs such as Prescription where the bravado drops to reveal the performer's internal state. These tracks provide a counterpoint to the more aggressive compositions found elsewhere on the record. By merging a hardcore approach with experimental beat work, the release helped move modern hip-hop toward the center of the music industry.
