DillanPonders’ reputation as a drug enthusiast is well-documented, from his alter ego (Shroom Daddy) to mind-expanding releases like Acid Reign and Retox. With his stature rising, the Toronto MC takes listeners on a guided tour of his mental state. He uses the first three tracks to establish his presence, flexing a gruff rhyme style that recalls a heavy-lidded A$AP Ferg’s. “Sauce” continues the theme, showing self-awareness (“I used to rap for Percocets, now I got money in perfect stacks/Been in the gym, got a perfect chest”). Deeper within, Ponders gets reflective (“Wish Em Well,” “3 AM,” “Focus”) and dark (“Cobain,” “Strings,” “Til We Die”). BVB’s rib-rattling production provides a syrupy backdrop as the rapper ponders his life choices and pitfalls.
