CRITIC REVIEWS

HipHopDX

Simply put, the songs feel unfinished, which is a shame because — and here’s the crazy part — they’re all so good. Even without the video clips, Whack is able to express nearly every emotion a woman can experience in a 24-hour period, backed by a myriad of musical styles.

Pitchfork
The surreal, audiovisual album from the Philadelphia artist is only 15 minutes long, but it is overflowing with hooks and a powerful sense of imagination.

The 405

A snappy, hilarious, disturbing, damnably catchy, but most importantly, complete showcase for one of the most exciting young musicians to emerge – in any genre – for some time.

The debut album from Philly hip hop artist Tierra Whack is an endearing set of pop rap and alternative R&B miniatures.

Black Nails, Cable Guy and Hookers is a wonderful perfect score and I do not belittle the fact that there are one minute track.

15 tracks, all 1min long. Even with that, they're so entertaining.

As mentioned, each track only lasts 60secs each. Part of me felt a bit bummed out by that because some of these tracks are so damn enjoyable and would've loved to hear them as full length tracks.

But what we have is still a damn good record where Tierra delivers plenty of creative punches in a short space of time.

Who would have thought such a silly, unique concept would work in the end?

Yes, sometimes having every single song on this little album end at 1 fucking minute can feel a tad anticlimactic, but "Whack World" is really about what Tierra is able to do in that miniscule timeframe, more than anything else.
Because she's really able to convey a message, a groove, and display a really playful and honest personality within these mini songs. There's some great bangers here!
