this is the 3rd project by swace and after months of just releasing singles we finally get the infamous sleepwalkin. Now if im to understand this sleepwalking is supposed to be a prelude to the dreaming out loud project that's gonna be released on a later date. However to go along with the dream metaphor this project seems to shows more nightmares of the past than anything and swace reactions to theses traumatic events. With the death and incarceration of his friends and the daily life of a young black man struggling in this world hes actually "walking " with these nightmares in his head which turns out to be a great concept for a 8 song mixtape. In addition to that keeping the tracklist short actually benefits its like just come in do your job and leave it wasn't too much but yet wasn't too little. To date this is the most that swace stayed on the concept even the beat selection is real airy and dream like as a juxtaposition of the negative lyrics so it gives it a nice bounce and catchy vibe to it. However even with months of preparation it was still problems in the productions. Just like the previous projects, Swace produced this all by himself and we get the signature auto tune but it seems like swace heard his songs by himself and just released it not giving himself a chance to display to someone else as a second opinion. This is shown in a few songs where his lyrics seems to be offbeat with the beat from the beginning or it just gradually just get off beat. I wont say what tracks ill just let you listen to find out, but it really just takes you out of the mood that swace sets ups thus defeating the whole feeling that we are sleepwalkin with him. Its only one feature its J3tt blizzi and most tracks J3tt is featured on he is screaming or has an aggression that kills the songs besides on whisper on xo mixtape (another project I was suppose to review) and what it is on cooly macloud mixtape (another one on my review list) but on sleepwakin its fits flowing with the beat with the negative thought and even making his verse fit with the story ("Sleepwalking through my conscious ....... Got me screaming in bed wishing I was dead" ) so its a great addition at the surface the project is flawless however with observation you will see the obvous flaws but give it a listen
