Higher than 0% of albums we've rated

A brisk set of capable West Coast grooves, but its repeated production and steady delivery leave few songs that deepen on return.

What we noticed

  • The 18-track sequence moves quickly through short songs, shifting from the blunt opening run into more reflective material around “Gotta Keep Pushing” and “House I Built.”
  • The production leans on familiar West Coast synths and bass, while Snoop’s relaxed, conversational delivery stays much the same across the track changes.
  • The closing stretch returns to lighter, more playful tracks, so the album ends without a strong build or a decisive change in mood.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
