A few days ago, Complex compiled a list of the 30 best rappers over 30. Out of the Slaughterhouse outfit, only Joe Budden and Royce da 5’9″ made the cut. So disrespectful. The group took it on the chin (sorta) and reacted to the list with Its The Real. Funny skit. Complex‘s selections? Even funnier.

Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
