Bro had to do all that to just make an album cover. Solid project, but the first half clears the second imo.
This could've been such a solid 12 track album but what we got is a inconsistent and boring 21 tracks that was probably supposed to played in shuffle. The organisation of the tracks is just confusing at best. And more importantly he shifted away from his main audience, losing his earlier, chaotic "rage" rap style to a more polished, cinematic sound meant for the mainstream.
Hes BABY KEEEEEEEEMMM.
Genuinely really starting to feel Baby Keem as an actual artist rather than simply a Kendrick Lamar shadow. You could debate it being better than the melodic blue but I wouldn't/
Some lines are especially awkward and break the atmosphere that the album is trying to build, particularly on $ex Appeal. Also, Kendrick's presence is unfortunately quite underwhelming and doesn't leave much of an impression. Really was wishing a family ties type feature after ... read more
Its a cold world, but atleast we got cole.
Imma need a new therapist after this mann.
Ain't nobody listening to Harry Styles when Scythe are debuting their project. Can't wait for some more southern hiphop representation.

An average but very progressive album for Queen's rapper Lexa Gates. She seems to really start feeling her sound. 'Past it' is my favourite track from her as of this review.
Really great production from No ID, Madlib and Conductor Williams paired with good lyricism creates a fun project. Really liked inputs from Joey Valence & Brae and MF DOOM. Even The Devil Smiles will probably not get the light it deserves in the already stacked first quarter of 26. Transitions between PO and CLOVER is just perfect and so are the features. Fav tracks: CLOVER and LIFE 4 A LIFE.
Aler Himself's Rainwalker is a compelling exercise in atmospheric drumless hip-hop, solidifying his place as one of the most vivid storytellers in the underground scene right now. Following his 2024 releases Anything Helps No Drugs and Sweet Ablutions, this project leans even further into his signature butterry flow, where his voice acts as an additional instrument over haunting, soul-drenched jazz loops.
I have encountered many big fish in my time, and I must say that this theory aligns with each one of my unique experiences. I am quite pleased as an avid fish enthusiast. Many multitudes of thanks, Sir Vince Staples. Cheerio.
