While Wolf on Wall St. felt like a Fahim album in terms of how straight forward it was, I feel like the more varied production, and the fact that there are solo Droog songs on this album, makes Tha YOD Fahim feel like Droog took the lead creatively... and I think it's better for it, because this album is more dynamic than its predecessor.

Right off the bat, what stood out to me was how much more interesting this album was instrumentally. These beats are more dynamic and varied than the one-tone grey sounding Wolf on Wall St. 

From a lyrical perspective, I think Fahim continues to perform well just like he did on Wolf... showing that he is very underrated and deserves respect for what he can do on the mic. Display a knack for dropping knowledge related to self-empowerment in a way that is very plain-language and simple to understand, allowing his ideas to easily resonate with the listener.

Droog on the other hand sounded re-invigorated here, after a still solid, but overall sort of Droog "auto-pilot" performance on Wolf.

Tha YOD Fahim is not the same supremely impressive affair that was Dump YOD, but it gets better and better with every listen, and is another great addition to the catalogues of Fahim and YOD.
