The album is the first in a long time that I can play straight through without skipping. Dot) drops his first studio album with Dr. MC Eiht.вЂќ Like prog rock, LamarвЂ™s tracks have songs within songs-sudden tempo changes with alter egos and embedded interludes, such as unscripted recordings of his parents asking for their car back and neighborhood homies planning their latest conquest.
