CRITIC REVIEWS
80
DaBaby has emotionally matured over the last six months, a fact that is reflected in his lyrics. Even if he has the superfluous style of the old DaBaby, there’s greater depth here than there was before.

DaBaby was born for stardom, and, judging from KIRK, he seems to love it.

While a more focused effort across the board would be appreciated, DaBaby’s time is currently now.

KIRK offers some moments of unexpected depth.

There's no doubt DaBaby can flow; it's just unfortunate he spends so much time on KIRK, as he says, "fuckin' around."
this is my favorite baby album!!!!!!!!! it has no tiktok songs 😞😣 but it has actual character that some of his other music seem to lack. most of his verses have a big melodic element and the bass is as bouncy as ever. look at da baby!! so cute

Besides, I already have YBN Cordae's debut album. Miles better than this.
favourite tracks: INTRO, BOP, GOSPEL
least favourite: XXL
Summary: Generic
I'm starting to think that the 2019 xxl freshmen were not THAT good.
After the released of "Intro", I was hyped for the new DaBaby's project, it hinted towards the idea that "Kirk" was gonna see DaBaby expand his musical horizons, and tackle a wider variety of beats than on "Baby on Baby". "Intro" is definitely a nice single. Maybe his best song to date and great showcase of his talent. With Dababy's rise to fame, he now has access to a large variety of ... read more
good. I don't know what happened to Dababy, He has 3 decent albums but that 2022 album. Those EP's. He has talent but he aint using it

This, like Polo G’s Lost Files, begins with a career defining statement then peters out pleasantly.
