Nice. Wish Joey were on more tracks, but I hope he can make a mark for himself.

Brief Notes:
- I feel like Emanny is a great talent who really was overshadowed (and deservingly so) by Joe Budden on their collabs throughout their careers. His hooks are always something I look forward to and I always wondered what it would be like if he got his shot at a solo project. Here on his debut mixtape, you can see the potential he has but realize he still has a long way to go. "On My Job" is a nice up-tempo R&B track in a time where those type of songs are cliche and uninteresting, but "One More" is long and dull. The guest spots come through to Emanny's cause, which helps him out because with Budden's co-sign, I know he'll be able to get some good people on his debut EP later.

Just listened to "All I Can Do" ... Pretty nice.
