Covert Coupe is a CLASSIC, it's only right it's recognized by The Alchemist as the staple for all of his collab albums. It's really what put me on his production, I had heard of him but his production on Covert Coupe drew me to his beats. Definitely my favorite producer, following him is how I find new artists.

16:08 this spoke volumes to me. Often times a few words of affirmation goes a long way, even over the simplest of tasks or accomplishments. Self reassurance and a pat on your own back will get it done, and that’s being real with yourself. I have a deeper appreciation for that slogan now. “Good Job Larry, you’re doing good!”
