And as Abe Linx spits on the stunning track InchWORLDWIDEInch InchWho the f*ck gon' tell me different?Inch In addition to the passion of Abe Linx & Tully C. and their collaborators, TWFLFF stands on it's own because it is just so sonically engaging. The production is equally crunchy and fascinating, because it flirts with sounds crafted by legends without sounding dated. This is timeless, raw hip-hop helmed by two talented rappers and their favorite producers like Nomstks & AWSME J, as well as longtime collaborators Baleboy Geechie & DJ GB. You can tell that Abe & Tully took their time with these songs, meticulously piecing them together in the two years since their previous . Each cut moves seamlessly into the next, bringing that special kind of cohesion. Just listen to how InchRABIESInch moves into Inch400MPH (skit)Inch and then InchSKYSCRAPER,Inch a brilliant slice of showin'-out rap elegance. While there are only three guest features on the project, they're used to great effect and make as much of an impact as their hosts. Planet Asia stomps all over the aptly titled InchSHOWOFF,Inch while Willie The Kid complements the smoked-out vibes of InchCHANDELIER.Inch And when Bub Rock shows up on InchRABIESInch? It's a wrap as soon as he hops on that piano-laced, dusty instrumental. TWFLFF is a mission statement, with pieces that also sound like a word of warning to anyone looking at these two sideways. Or, as Tully C. raps so perfectly on InchCHANDELIERInch InchI be in this b*tch, with my clique/ So don't act stupid.Inch The World
