Anyone looking for a proper apology from Vann will be disappointed by Emmanuel. This compelling EP is less about personal growth and more about embracing one’s demons. Instead of trying to change his public image, Vann is contemplating whether or not he should fully lean into a villain persona.
Ameer Vann's comeback EP is pretty bitter and one-dimensional.
I AINT NO BOY IN A BAND I AM MORE THAN A MAN
So Ameer is back, more than a year after his forced departure from Brockhampton. And he's still a better rapper than anyone in BH is, at least on the 2 records they've released without him. I'm happy to see he's still working and creating even after being isolated from the collaborators that he had almost exclusively worked with before.
