Ca$ino really captures that raw Keem energy with some of the wildest production he's jumped on yet. The way he switches from those high-pitched erratic flows to a smoother, more melodic pocket keeps the whole project feeling fresh and unpredictable. It’s a solid evolution of his sound that doesn't try too hard but still lands exactly where it needs to, I am not a Lyricist is genuinely the perfect song
Still honestly a bit disappointed with his more recent work, theres no real climax or low lights in this entire EP which isn't bad at all it's still very very consistent. But the issue is that its so consistent in fact that it genuinely bores me. The only semi highlights i can point out here are Young and Sweet & Sour. I do see some subtle experimentation with a more trap soul typeish influence in a few song but let's be real that hes been doing the same sound for like 7 ... read more
i don't care anymore this gets more hate than it deserves, but if im still being honest it’s not anything amazing either.
I appreciate Drake trying something from his usual pop rap antics and going for an r&bish house album. There are a handful of genuinely good songs like A Keeper & Flights Booked that deserve some sort of recognition, but the weaker ones drag it down and make it feel kinda inconsistent and make it seem like an overall hit or miss experience for me because ... read more
76 -> 68
decided to redo my review cause it was trash but anyways, majority of why it did lower a lot than usual is mainly because i put FINE SHIT & RATHER LIE as straight 0's just cause they use AI. I just dont like the overall idea of artist beginning to utilize the use of AI to imitate art and sorta encourage artists to dilute their creativity. but overall, too much filler to make this a consistently enjoyable listen.
Although overhated even ill admit im still a bit disappointed at the result. This is like the most uninteresting yet interesting album at the same time. While trying to juggle with more genres like melodic trap and r&b and overall harder and mature topics, he does in a way thats kinda generic, even more generic than dangerous summer which was my main critique about it. But yet there still strong moments but i feel like they're moderately shielded by simply mediocre and i guess boring ... read more
35 -> 69 -> 77
Quite the turn around for my reputation of Che, I dont know why my mind initially thought this was mediocre and just mindless noise. While still a bit inconsistent for me, it still tries to be fun, playful, and infectiously loud with its bass. On Fleek and Mannequin are seriously amazing.
I've always been kinda uninterested in the whole aesthetic Cochise presented himself as over the years, especially back in the day in like 2019-22 where he was borderline a carti clone with the voice inflections and similar production style but thank goodness it's apparent in this project he's left that carti clone sound behind. Obviously there's still similarities to that sound but now it feels more concise and leaves mixtures of other genres like some light rage and even ... read more
I feel slightly disappointed given how their debut was so good. But this will do, we get another cold, chaotic, and weirdly emotional album from the duo which it’s a strong album with a really unique vibe, but not everything hits equally. When it works, it really works, and when it doesn’t, it can feel a bit underwhelming and dry. so its really solid, just not fully consistent.
Alright he really needs to think about getting better artists to feature on his songs cause now im slowly being let down. Why would kylie be any good at music?
Disappointed but not bad, Lit effect is really the only "Wow" moment of this whole album. And it feels especially uneven cause you get a solid 4 tracks while You aint gotta lie & Tan are borderline bad. I do see tiny pockets of great music up ahead but never fully gets there at least shown in this mixtape.
It's Cool ig, Not super memorable and it never really hits a moment where you’re like “yeah this is the track.” It feels more like a vibe record than something with real standout highs. But it’s cool hearing him experiment and stretch his sound from his usual antics.
I was hoping for more, The group energy’s there and the chemistry is solid, but a good amount of the tape drags and can feel same-y after a while. Now of course i see the potential and i see the handful of moments that slap and keep your head nodding and are genuinely great but yet it never hits consistently hard or memorable throughout. Fans will find stuff to vibe to, but it’s not exactly a tape to take seriously, Its better than Vol 1 though i guess..
Ah.. Yes, generic pop music. Not much to say, not much to be offended by. It simply sits there and its entire purpose is to be used as grocery store background music & medicine commercials.
Fine, ill do the review. This album is so fucking weird and yet so amazing, It sounds like a broken arcade machine having a mental breakdown in the middle of the night. which as a whole It’s loud, it’s abrasive, it’s emotional. Doesn’t age. Doesn’t soften. it all just hits ngl.
Its good, nothing really mind blowing is displayed and the EsDeeKid feature feels a bit misplaced but not bad at all..
Y'know this album was such a steal given how much money it costed for them to record it, only around a $100? Bet. You can hear the band figuring themselves out in real time, and that rawness makes it powerful. It’s not as refined or emotionally layered as what came next, but it absolutely captures that early grunge spirit, it does blur together towards the end but the explosive start brings it up pretty high.
Feels a bit underwhelming given how long he’s been gone, but I still think it’s solid and unique.
