Background

Mach-Hommy and Westside Gunn, though onetime collaborators, had fallen out of touch throughout much of the later 2010s. However, the pair made up late in 2020 and began to collaborate again.[5] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Westside Gunn states that once the pair had reunited, "[w]e picked up where we left off. And from there, we said 'let's just kill this.'"[10]

Critical reception

The album was met with favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 85 based on eight reviews.[1] The album has received particular praise for Mach-Hommy's lyricism. Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork described the project as having "razor-sharp bars and an exceptional eye for detail", and gave it a "Best New Music" award.[7] Riley Wallace of HipHopDX gave a similar appraisal, describing the album as "fram[ing] hard-as-nails themes with calmly delivered, tastefully complex wordplay",[5] while Fred Thomas of AllMusic characterized Mach's lyrics as "cutting, hilarious, and multi-dimensional".[2] The production on the album has been described as "varied" but generally "stripped-back".[7][5]
