Real shit Vivid Visions is a masterclass in what a producer lead album should sound like Playing into the strengths of all the featured MCs and bringing out the absolute best in their abilities All canvased by some of the illest beats Ive ever heard TAP IN WITH THIS ALBUM
Much love to @CloudyNights47 @TheAuxPodcast for this fun short review of 'Vivid Visions.' He discovered it through the @rapmusicplugpod listening party, and seems to dig the album... Particularly showing love to @Curly_Castro & @PlanetPremRock ("this might be their best one yet")

"(...) Vivid Visions is like a dream where everything looks familiar but distorted: organs stretched into strange shapes, guitars chopped into playful stabs, drums that sound both dusty and futuristic.” S/O @HipHopGoldenAge for the spot-on review🎯 https://t.co/zLia7ZF5YT
