Reminds me of J. Cole’s “KOD”— light enough to jam on, but punchy and spicy enough to get HYPED on. Brambly, tart, sundrenched raspberries muddled in a splash of cold suburban pool water, dashed with a touch of plumeria, a bunch of lime and a little Lawry’s.

Not for me, but I can appreciate its tartness. Had too funky of a flavor profile.
