Is this a Mixtape or an Album Fred? Most websites are saying it's a Mixtape, so I'll review it as one. The older articles were saying it was an album, now the updates are that it's a Mixtape. I'm from the Mixtape era, so I'm with it. Let's go!

Review:
I did research for this project that I believe was an album at one time. Now it's viewed as a mixtape. And if you don't know what a mixtape is, it's something rappers would and still put out prior or in between an album release. But I believe this was an album and then got chopped up to a mixtape. Fred, prove me wrong sir. And if you know, comment below please.
The older articles showed 10 songs with at least six different tracks that are not on this project. And I'm guessing here, but I think Mr. Godson is trying to flood the streets with lyrical content. He just put out the "Training Day" Mixtape with comedian Jay Pharoah like two months ago. And about five months ago, his nearly #Classic album "God Level" produced by the Heatmakerz in November of 2019. I'm not complaining. I'm a huge FAN. Flood away!
The over all album with my rating brings it to 3.7 MICS. This is going off the 5 MIC system,
"The Source" Magazine does. I put a bit of a twist and I'm adding percentages. I'd like to give the MC's as much credit as possible. Especially bar for bar heavyweights like FRED.
This project was produced by Tricky Trippz, Hesami and by the artist. It seems like many artist are getting involved with the production, composing and advertising of their recent projects. This is no exception. Fred composed his last couple of projects. And it makes sense to be involved in all the pieces to your work. Royce Da 5'9 recently produced his entire album and it's ranked a #Classic in my book. Go check out my review on Royce as well.
The highlights are Fred's delivery of metaphors. He is definitely bar for bar one of the elite MCS out since he started spittin. The reason he's being highlighted recently is because the culture is respecting lyrics again. Since the Trust Gang and Griselda movement, Hip-Hop is waking up to lyrical content. And Fred is affiliated with not just these crews, but he's lining up with producers like Heatmakerz, 38 Spesh, etc.
As long as Mr. Godson stays in tune with the heavy hitting producers, he will be talked about for a long time. He already ranks in my TOP 25 MCS all day. Recently he's just been getting more quality beats. And all great lyricist need this. Take Black Thought for an example. People know of him, but always forget about him when it comes to the top whatever list. WHY? Usually most lyricist don't have great production behind them. Give these wordsmiths some BEATS producers.
If your listening Fred The Godson, keep doing what your doing sir. It's only a matter of time that the world will recognize your talent. If that doesn't happen, you still have the streets. And we will represent and support you until the wheels fall off. And if your really reading or watching my YouTube reviews, hit up the Heatmakerz, Premo or 38 Spesh for at least 10 tracks. Shoot, you have access to all them, sounds like three more mixtapes or albums. However you want to spin them brother. Just keep hitting us with that FIRE.
