Less aggressive than the 2018 trap EP Binge and more pop-savvy than 2017 predecessor Bloom, Hotel Diablo presents MGK's melding of rap and rock in seamless fashion with balance and finesse.

Even an allusion to the rapper's highly publicised beef with Emimen can't lift this lumpen retread of weary, tried-and-tested rap-rock tropes.
UPDATEEE : Fuck it. this thing actually bops. If it wasn't for Marshall y'all would be praising the shit outta this.
I listened to this early because I somehow got super curious about whether MGK would deliver another generic slog with pop and rock hints like bloom, or he would deliver an extension of the annoying wannabe SoundCloud sad rapper mixtape that Binge was, because there is no way he would actually make a good album.

It's really sad that mfs are judging this with the eminem beef bias on this album. Like seriously y'all niggas need to put that shit aside and actually listen to the album for what it is cuz this is some of MGK's best work. everything from the rock influenced hip hop beats to his hard hitting lyrics about the consequences of being rapper and father, fame, and depression. This is MGK at his best
