Fredo

Money Can’t Buy Happiness

Country: UK

Genre: Trap Rap

For fans of: Kano, Dave, Skepta

2020 saw Fredo gain a lot more popular appeal across the UK, due mostly to the smash hit Funky Friday. I really didn't enjoy this pop rap direction but I was very thankful to hear something very different on this record.

Ngl I wasn't expecting to enjoy a Fredo album as much as I do with this one. The production is fantastic and he's either talking his shit or hitting us with some more introspective cuts throughout. A really consistent hip hop album and one that will probably be one of the best out of the UK this year. (75)

Edit: Gets better with each listen, really great album

Fav Track: Money Talks ft. Dave

The album was decent, nothing too special. Dave and Summer walker features are highlights, and the beats are pretty good too but nothing special.
