This is peak cloud rap. This album creates a slow and somewhat dark atmosphere. Bones has an echo effect on his vocals that adds to that. The singing sound nice, isn’t trying to do much vocally. Rapping is similar. Some nice flows but nothing crazy. Bones doesn’t need to do anything impressive to add to it as much as he does. His echoing voice and hooks and verses that are nice to relax or sing along to are what does it. Beats are a huge part in creating this atmosphere. These are ... read more
Musical mastermind Madlib’s alter ego quasimoto is unique and incredible. Vocals are high pitch and unorthodox but when rapping from his own personality Madlib has a very nice, calm rapping voice. Madlib is a great rapper and doesn’t get enough recognition for it. Production is the real standout on this album. Filled with tons of samples used in different ways and his usual laid back style. Madlib’s production shows his full potential of creativity. This project is phenomenal ... read more
Short and fun album. I’m not a big fan of Comethazine so I’m suprised I liked this as much as I did. This is a very simple album, no loud extravagant ad-libs or loud beats. Beats are actually quite calm and simple. I like that, basic trap beats seem to really work for tay-k’s style. Tay k isn’t the most unique or interesting rapper either but I just really enjoy the simplicity and fun of this. A very solid trap album.
A long ass 20 minutes. Iann Dior is so uninteresting and generic. He’s a blatant Trippie redd and juice wrld rip off without any of the qualities that make those two artists interesting. If he weren’t an industry plant there is no way he would be successful, he’d be another high schooler doing shitty SoundCloud raps that nobody willingly listens to. I’ve seen people call iann Dior emo rap but if I don’t really see it. Sounds pretty happy to me. A couple of the ... read more
Pretty great emo rap project. Guitar based production sounds very nice and works especially well on Benz truck, Save that shit, and oroblems. Vocals are mixed, on those previous tracks mentioned they work well because he isn’t trying to do too much with the vocals. Just rapping/singing with an echo effect. I like that version of his vocals. The issue I had with the vocals is when he tries to do more singing and ends up sounding like a generic emo rap singer for a bad band. This is mainly ... read more
