King’s record-breaking commercial success means he’s as much of a pop star as he is a hip-hop heavyweight. But if there was ever any risk of his status as a hitmaker overshadowing the respect he’s earned as a rapper, he silences detractors with this huge LP on which the battle-ready bars outnumber the dejected ballads and dance bops. He collabs with over a dozen MCs—each matching his grit and groove—with the star’s beat-switching banter with Stan on “F*CK WHAT THEY SAY” a clear highlight. On MONOPOLY MOVES’ rambunctious-yet-reflective tunes, King passes GO(AT status) and makes bank.
