Music videos
[edit | edit source]A video was shot for “You Don’t Know" in North Carolina by Vinark Motion Pictures.[4] A second video, "LayBach" ft Carringtion, was also planned.
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Grungecake magazine stated that the album was short and sweet. London was able to show his skills by switching flows and riding the beat differently on each song. They would also go on to write that Drique London is a relatable artist, in the vein of most of North Carolina’s most known Hip-Hop artists: J. Cole, Little Brother (group) and Rapsody.[5]
