Swamp is Lil Darkie's most accessible attempt at the anti-meta niche he tries to carve for himself. Although Darkie's controversial sound could be considered a gimmick inspired by the current wave of clout-chasing, his music never feel like shock-value. Instead, Swamp is an authentic expression that is both extremely polarizing and relatable.
Whole Lotta Red is more of the same.
It's execution is nearly identical to it's predecessor, and it doesn't see Carti taking any bold new directions towards his sound. The album feels like a mirror experience to Die Lit, and it likely won't change anyone's perceptions of Playboi Carti's polarizing hype, but it may disappoint those who do indeed love Carti's sound.

Hook experiments with the slurred, melodic, and sometimes unintelligible (mumbled) approach to rap pioneered by Playboi Carti.
Although the motifs are simple, they're relatable, and Hook's sound is executed with a unique style and precision that signifies a diamond in the rough.

Nightmare Vacation matches the fury of Anger Management, with the mainstream edge of Nasty, and the pop-trap cadence of Sugar Trap, to deliver a trailblazing, yet underdeveloped debut.

Bbymutha explores the weird and obscene with a serious undertone that strikes balance into her craft. It's a raw expression of womanhood and self-confidence layered in mysticism.
Although it tends to be a bit one-note, it's a note that very few artists hit, despite it's occasionally odd mixing.

So Much Fun is...well, it's fun, but it's the sort of fun that's similar to playing duck, duck, goose.
For the most part, you're sitting in that stupid fucking circle, somewhat bored and disappointed, however, eventually arrives the rare and surprising moment when you get hit on the head and get to run around and enjoy yourself. When the brief moment ends, you are forced to sit back down and let the seemingly perpetual process repeat itself.

On Hook - I Love You 2, Hook
"This is a nice warm-up to Whole Lotta Red, if you're looking for one."
On TomBejoy's review of NAV - Emergency Tsunami
" I love hearing Nav's music. It’s my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. His music is the only reason I'm still alive. I was born to love and enjoy the music that Nav has created."
On Tyler Damsma's review of Juice WRLD - Legends Never Die
"I'm guessing its because these tracks very probably finalized a while before his passing, but yeah, they're kinda corny.."
On Inglume's review of Death Grips - The Powers That B
"this is my favorite DG albums and one of my all time faves. amazing review"
On _zeltrxn17's review of Young Thug - So Much Fun
"forreal. 2019 has become pretty disappointing with its music. idk who NAV is blackmailing or holding hostage to keep getting put on tracks, but Boy Back was one of the most mediocre and uninteresting songs I've ever heard from Thug. The other features where dull and I couldn't tell Gunna and Thug apart at all"
On Inglume's review of Chance The Rapper - The Big Day
"lmaooo lil mosey said in a recent interview that he was standing in the back of the cypher listening to meg and dababy like "wow, i didn't know you could have bars like that!" "
On KengojiUltamYT's review of Cordae - The Lost Boy
"yeah, I agree. it's was hard to listen to this album without thinking about kendrick or another artists who's delivery could have made this music a lot better. i still liked it though lol"
On Inglume's review of Iggy Azalea - In My Defense
"lol i agree with all you said, but it makes sense why iggy is still relevant. her music is made to follow the trends. you don't have to be creative or original with your music anymore, you just have to copy the mainstream trends, but add a very tiny twist to it.
general audiences will fuck with it because it sounds close enough to the trendsetter. iggy will probably go gold, go on on tour and all that other shit based off this album. 99% of radio artists like her are 💩 and do the same thing"
