Why Lawd?

It took a couple of listens for this album to start really clicking with me, but now I really appreciate it. Opting for much sparser production and a smoother sonic landscape, this album really needed tracks to be mostly be under 3 min. I love the dichotomy of a darker side to .Paak's vocals over "baby-making music". Most of the features were spot on and the album plays through tremendously well. However, a couple of things that hold it back are that there isn't enough sonic diversity to make some tracks stick out from the rest and sometimes the length of the tracks leaves some tunes feeling half-baked. Overall, an awesome experience and a satisfactory follow-up to Yes, Lawd!
