If Kanye creates a new sound, if Clipping bring the noise, if those no longer with us drop the first ever collaborative mixtape from Heaven, ‘Veteran’ will still be one of, if not the most, substantial hip hop albums of 2018, that’s how damn good it is.

Veteran is sure to be one of the most in-your-face, off-the-wall and creative rap projects of 2018.

It makes for a breathless album, one that takes white-hot riffs and the most distasteful parts of our national politics, chops them up, and somehow scatters them perfectly into place.

YEP, Veteran's great! Peggy absolutely killed it! BANGER. Morrissey bad, Peggy GOOD blahblahblah GOOD NIGHT LIBTARDS...
...Yeah, no. I'm not ending my review like that.
So why is this album so great, you might ask? Well, considering that a year has passed and everyone has already given this its praise and deciphered every component in detail, I'll try my best to uniquely explain the appeal of Veteran: a fascinating, ... read more

The drums are loud, the vocals are loud, this is just loud and abstract.

Deeply facetious and metaphorical in both lyricism and production, Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks delivers his sophmore release in a drug-infused, contextless presentation. Typically a stoic contrarian, Veteran displays a disturbed and emotionally shattered Hendricks, and we learn that at his deepest and most personal, he's just as enigmatic as all of us. Veteran is a poetic and masterful LP akin to some of the greatest and most reveered hip-hop albums of all time.

This has slowly become one of my all time favorite experimental hip hop releases. It has so much under the hood, that when I first listened, a lot of it just didn’t even hit my radar. This is one of the most engaging and intriguing albums of the last decade
