The best tracks on this album are “Southern Blues”, “Moments We Never Had”, “Step Stones”, “Aqua Velvet Life”, and “Underwater Angles”. All of the tracks featured on this album are great, reflective joints; however, the above mentioned tracks seam to stick out a little more than the rest. Lil D’s excellent word play, and mind spelling flow lure fans into the “core” of the rhymes content. Lil D has mastered the nack of making listeners feel the content of his rhymes.
