NORE's straight-up hip-hop work is packed with Queens vibes.
The rough beats and aggressive rhyming bring to life the real New York cityscape. The chemistry with the guest artists is also excellent, bringing a sense of unity to the album. This is a vivid record of the energy of East Coast hip-hop in the early 2000s.
