    Free TC moves way less outside contribution than expected. [Dec/Jan 2016, p.90]

    Despite looking to set the world on fire with Free TC, his debut, Dolla $ign spreads himself too thin and mostly stumbles over his own lofty ambitions.

    [The] cameo-packed tracks fail to live up to the billing, often feeling too long and lacking the punch of Dolla $ign’s previous output.

I wish Kanye would have delivered a verse but other than that every track delivered, this is definitely the best effort Ty Dolla $ign has put out yet. I recommend checking this out, it might just surprise you.… Full Review »

I wasn't quite sure whether he'd be able to construct a consistently good project, but Free TC is exactly that and more. It's a great debut album, especially so for an artist that has a very unique vocal style. Ty Dolla's future looks bright. ~ 8.0/10

When tracks like Drop that kitty and Stand For were not in the album I was concerned because most of the tracks in the album were not as great as those, but this album has its moments. The album starts off with LA which was a good Sentimental track the album continues with tracks Saved to Know ya(feat Trey Songz ) which loses momentum off the first quarter of the album.The album continues with mediocre tracks Credit,Miracle/Whenever,When I see ya and Bad production and wasted Kanye West feature On Guard Down. Just as when Ty had lost it the Album picks up with the good tracks Blase, Only right, Bring it out of me and Actress and I was thinking, MAN the album would have been great if Ty made the album's tempo more like the last tracks.The Album finishes off with the okay but lazy track Finale.The best tracks are LA,Solid (clealy the best track in the album),Only right, Saved and Actress. The best features are Wiz Khalifa, Rae Sremmurd, E-40, Kendrick Lamar and everyone on Only right. The worst tracks are Guard down and Miracle/Whenever, Disapointing features are Kanye West, Fetty wap and brandy. Ty sometimes tried too hard to make this album about something, instead of just having fun but the first quarter and last quarter of the album is worth listening to . Whether your a fan or not of Ty Dolla $ign, Free TC is not bad for a debut album.Ovarally Free TC is okay but Ty could have done more.… Full Review »
