Not much to say about this other than listening back to this really helped me outgrow my X phase.

XXXTENTACION stains the music industry with his sophomore record '?'; rightfully named for how obscure & often disorganised this record is. The record definitely has its highlights, however they are very far & few between. As X elects to explore other genres of music & attempts to take on far more than he can chew — he ultimately ends up leaving himself short.
