More Than Ever is the third studio album by American hip hop artist Sims, a member of Minneapolis hip hop collective Doomtree. It was released on Doomtree Records on November 4, 2016.[3]
The album was produced by Icetep of Minneapolis hip hop group Killstreak and Doomtree producers Paper Tiger and Lazerbeak.[4]
RapReviews' Steve Juon called the album "witty and satirical" and said that "while Sims is clearly inclined to march to the beat of his own drum, he’s not in completely inaccessible arthouse territory."[1] Scene Point Blank called More Than Ever "a record that pushes expectation beyond the hard-hitting beats and spitfire lyricism with echo-y and dreamlike tracks interjected through the more traditional beat-heavy songs."[2]
