This sunshine-bright effort could warm up the coldest nights, with songs like "Summertime Soul" and "Endless Summer Symphony" delivering on their titles.

This reeks of "My First Hip-Hop Album" in terms of its for the kids who think they're edgy for listening to rap.

It's very fun, very bouncy and very summery. And it's also very sickly sweet, and the lyrics are very surface level and simple. I remember when this album came out Kyle was my favourite rapper, it was also the year I started to actually learn about hip hop as a culture, so that should say something...

So yeah, give it to your little sibling if they're tired of Kidz Bop ... read more

Edit - 90/10. I know it's not a 9/10 project but it's hits every spot for me when listening to music. Vibe, lyrics (remember me?), and aesthetics. a VROween recommend.

This album was my first impressions of kyle, from Really? Yeah! and Remember Me? from promoting sounds all those years ago. And god damn! I'm glad it was.

I thought I was not going to like it, but it's not that bad at all. Pretty simple fun songs on here that I like. Not amazing but still very good.

Kyle is a bit ridiculous here, but it works if you're into cheerful rap music. I guess that's what Kyle is known for, considering his hit single iSpy, which is all I ever knew him for.

The production on this tape is so sugary and energising it’s some of the best pop rap ever made. To rlly get into KYLE u just have to embrace the corn and u’ll have a great time. This was a rlly formative mixtape for me, bumping it all the time, it rlly is a special listen with a surprising amount of depth to go with bangers. Happy 10 years to the best summer listen oat.
