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.

Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
