I think Metro and 21 Savage are a good duo, just not this time. I didn’t have a favorite song. I don’t really think it’ll get too many sales. I didn’t have 5 top tracks but a couple of good ones were Mr. Right Now and Glock in Lap. In my opinion, I think it was a good album. It was a long awaited album and I was excited to listen to it.
