“**💭 Thoughts:** Don Toliver’s 2024 LP HARDSTONE PSYCHO continues his signature blend of trap and psychedelic rap while incorporating subtle rock influences. Despite its ambitious sound, the project feels inconsistent from start to finish. While I don’t dislike the album, much of it comes across as underwhelming and fails to leave a lasting impression on myself. I’ll probably revisit only a couple songs from here. **🎶 Tracklist Review** *Disc 1* 1.) KRYPTONITE 🔵🥈 2.) TORE UP 🔵 3.) BROTHER STONE 🔵 4.) ATTITUDE 🟢 *Disc 2* 1.) BANDIT 🔵🥇 2.) GLOCK 🟠 3.)
