Roc is a master at reshaping vintage boom bap into something new, and Cooks knows what to do with it. After appearing on multiple tracks on 2019's Marcielago, he formed a strong working relationship with Roc which led to Roc producing this entire album. It's out on Busta Rhymes' label (he first came up under Busta as Aaron Cooks back in 2016 before disappearing with no album), and Cooks frequently works with the Griselda crew and Roc Marciano, which - along with the album title - should give you an idea of the '90s-style rap he makes. If you're gonna name an album after Jay-Z's classic Reasonable Doubt, you better deliver, and Syracuse rapper Stove God Cooks does exactly that on his debut LP with not a single guest feature on any track.
