• NICE !
  THIS IS SOOTHE JAZZ YOU CAN CHILL TO , I MUST ADMIT I WAS ALITTLE SURPRISED BY TERRANCE AND HIS VOCAL ABILITIES , THE CRITICS ARE WAY OFF BASE, THIS IS HIS FIRST ALBUM , AND WHILE THE ALBUM COULD FLOW BETTER , THE PASSION IS THERE AND COMES THRU, HE WILL ONLY GET BETTER , I JUST HOPE HE DOESNT SUCCUMB TO PRESSURE TO SELL , PLEASE NO RAP INTERLUDES !
