    Apologies for my mic's audio everyone. I usually don't have one for videos and forgot to double check the filters for my audio's track during recording. Hopefully it's not too jarring and you still enjoy what the rest of the fellas had to say about this amazing album! - Sunny

    Sunny imma tell you since Myke left we need a consistent 5th mic and you mentioning you being on your modest media was so needed. So tell Ken and rod to invest in a proper mic for you cuz if there's no guests we need u my dude!

    @@EZ95Appreciate you man! 🙏🏽It wasn’t the mic though it was just pre production on my end 😅With the system we use if we don’t have the proper filters added to a track we get that doubled/echo sound y’all were hearing from me in some of the earlier Lives when I started manning the production table. We used the same type of mic here but it was on a different input this time and I didn’t think to check for it unfortunately. Definitely going to try and be more involved on certain projects/convos though moving forward!

    I cringed so hard when Sonny incorrectly "corrected" the French pronunciation. The accent aigu (É) above the E makes a nasaly elongated sound, so it's not "Eat-tou-Fe" it's "Eh-tou-Fe." EDIT: the pronunciation got better throughout the video. It's all love.

But, this one here, absolutely amazing. It clicked right away. LOVE this project. Glad he's experimenting still, it's paid off.

And kaytranada is dropping his long awaited and anticipated follow up to Bubba. Btw, Vince’s new album was interesting. Especially listening to it after watching his Netflix show. It feels like every track could be an episode to his show and vice versa. Very interesting

    Album is a snooze fest. This was his last album on Def Jam so it sounds mailed in. He probably focused on pivoting to his Netflix show. What is exciting about this album? The production is samey. His vocal delivery was lackadaisical and uninspired. The bars were clearly freestyled and pasted together by an engineer. This album is nyquil. Vince is so much better than this. Hope he finds some excitement on his next album. This aint it.
