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.
