    The writing on this album is incredible. Heavy rap can often get exhausting to listen to but her flows and voice are so smooth and the confidence so palpable that the songs just breeze through. It's sonically stripped back compared to SIMBI but I think her rapping here might be even better than it was on SIMBI. Great album!

    This album is God-like. I felt she put into words certiain things and processes Ive been living, I ALWAYS say this and will continue to do so: SIMZ IS FEMENINE POWER. "Sillhouette" WTF WAS THAT!? "Broken" is just unbelievable. The bars she puts into the word do not only speak of her own great mind and soul, but she preaches to women in general. I LOVE HER, ahd this album is just 10/10... the first listen was enough for me to say its an impecable work. PS: I DO believe this is the best rap album lyrically out of 2022. Steppers is superb, but at least to me as a 28 woman, hit harder.

      I think if she carries on like this and her next album is as huge a success as SIMBI was, she will dethrone him. The scary thing with her is this album was just a throwaway on a Monday morning that she didn’t even make music videos for, and it’s one of the best albums of the year, her next full form album is going to be madness

    I do like the soul hooks tho.
