Mr. Birthday Bash brought out one guest for his hometown stop on Hov’s BP3 Tour. I shrugged when I knew it was Plies, but he proved me wrong with the debut of their dope new collabo off TM103. I thought the Goon said this was about to drop? I’m sure it’ll be out by manana along with more of my footage. You poorly write about it, I live it.
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.
