two different vibes entirely
first song was the most perfectly rated che song ive ever heard, nice 7/10, then second track was too loud tbh. japan aws super smooth and playlist ass for sure, then tony tony sounded like a closed captions song that was done incorrectly with the wrong preset on.

he was 15 years of age.
after fully digesting sayso says, rib, encore, fully loaded, and paradies, che has become one of my goats. i NEEDED to listen to the rest of his discog since i listened to sayso and beyond. starting with his first ep, its is fucking clear that che can never miss and i dont think he ever will. HE WAS 15 FLOWING LIKE THIS, and it was clear that this mf was going to have a lasting career after dropping his first tape. the beat selection is just a tamer verion of his ... read more
japan keep doing experimental stuff like that with your voice
there realistically should be no reason for me to hate on this one cuz i prefer his harder stuff than his dreamier music, but something isnt really hitting on this one. my favorite one off of this might be "PeopleNeverChange" where he strains his voice so much. im a giant fan of uniqueness in music in general and his unique voice on that song is so fun to listen to despite how interesting and low rated it is. my favorite ... read more
feels like a beautiful but well produced mess
this project feels like a "safe travels" but with ethereal choirs added with much harder sounding with bass. the pianos, then the singy vocals and vibes from this project intertwined with hard 808's dont really mix. i think that japan needs to either make a dreamy cohesive vibe album or a hard underground style album and shouldnt mix them like he did with this album. i hate that i dont really mess with this, because for each song i ... read more
not my vibe
too chill for me. the music is great i promise but this is not my preferred type of trap if you look at some of the albums i listen to. its too rnb heavy, and when japan hops on beats like the ones on "dark outside," i like his music much more. if im being truthful, this album is a lot like "alternative trap" by lucki, where the music is highly rated and great, but in reality i only have 2-3 playlist adds out of 12+ songs. as much as i didnt mess with it, im ... read more
really enjoyable
usually with underground rap, artists will make music that is hard to understand on the first listen that will later grow on you, but with japan, he makes music that is easy to listen to thats not too complicated. he has a great accent with lyrics and flows that go with the beats super well that are chill but super hard at the same time. love the vibes too, almost no stylist vibes. im excited to get into the rest of japan since this is my first project of his.

repetitive asf.
i dont get it. look i really want to like this guy cuz of his backstory of him being locked up but im not a fan of this style of pluggnb rap. no disrespect to lil shine but his voice is too high pitched for me tbh. his lyrics and flows are basic, with every bar being about drugs (rightfully so) but its too much to where its getting annoying. one thing that i can say about shine is that i prefer his singing over his rapping, mostly cuz when he raps its not good, but he ... read more
the day he reveals his face will be the day his mysteriousness and hype disappears. watch
i was originally an esdeekid clowner since i thought his accent carried his career, but its not as cringe anymore since i know that he can decently rap. there is something so fun about listening to his music and rapping his lyrics in the most exaggerated scouse accent lmao. the beats on this are fine but not my favorite. i love me some loud 808's but the uk sounding beats that they are on are not the ... read more
"crazy story about that song, i made it in my car. i had no money. no money. so when i said "get some money fuck that", i was talking to myself. and like, as we can see i think we got the money.

such a complete album from nine wow
HIS CLEANEST PRODUCTION YET. okay i can understand why he called this emotions, cuz he taps into so many different bags. he ranges from making his usual cracked out rage music, then we got songs like "need" where its very drake catered. like we got nine singing his ass off bro this is peak. basically, emotions meaning that he wants the listener to understand that the music on the album reflects the vibes that this album gives off.
to sum this ... read more
WOOHOOO WOOHOO AHHHHHH
this album is like if you injected "for nothing" with heroin. the rage songs are 10x more chaotic, and then the ethereal song's melodies are 10x more beautiful sounding. beat selection is almost PERFECTED. this project sounds like if you took all of nines best qualities and jammed it into 10 songs. my favorite nine album before this one was tumblr music (no lie) and it surpasses it, so in my opinion out of like the 10 nine projects ive listened to, this is ... read more
the homage king lmfao
this ep cool but just sounds like for nothing throwaways. drake (not the rapper fuck no) is so fucking good it might be nines best song and it carries this album score. if it wasnt for that song, this ep from nine would've got maybe like a 55. i think "amazing" is very overrateed since sex w nine sounds absolutely atrocious lol. same w classy. tell on me cool as well, but overall these are good.

top 2- Drake, Tell On Me
nine is actually more talented than i thought...
this is better than studio addict btw. its the pianos and other shit in the back that makes these beats shine. then nine actually does decent on each of these along with his famous adlibs that are so fun. unlike studio addict tho, this album has more rage songs/elements i it and i favor that over his melodic and ethereal side that he has. also after seeing nines rise in music, it is SO clear that his production has flourished over time, and ... read more
putting shit out just to put shit out ig
this is one of the worst lucki projects ive ever heard out of like the 10 projects ive heard from him. i can say with 100 percent certainty that it picks up towards the end, so expect a midder performance in the beginning. the thing i hated the most from this album was definitely his slurred speech. i thought that that was bad on gemini but it got even worse on this album for sure. him doing that on almost every song just decreases the value of this ... read more
most bloated style of drake ive always hated
i feel like ive heard this album already. drake is the ceo of making the same exact singy slow songs for his entire career and dumb mf's are replaying these repetitive substance-less noises over basic trap beats. like are drake fans not tired of their "drizzy" playlists compiled entirely of EXTREMELY BORING late night drive type songs like this or are they genuinely excited that drake dropped this snoozefest? i just want to highlight ... read more
i was popping ass to this
okay the second day/second listen was better than the first. i was so ready to give this shit a hard 1/10 last night but its cuz i was expecting some lyricism and now that i know the vibe of the album afterwards this is so funny and fun that its honestly more of an enjoyable listen than i had beforehand. dont get me wrong there is no way i give this above a 3 but it definitely went up.
i think that the lyrics and rachetness are cringe to listen to and disgusting but ... read more
im underwhelmed
uhm after the first listen i was impressed with the bars but not with the music. the first like 8 tracks made me look at the screen with a confused look cuz i knew that drake is better than this shit. it sounded like a $$$4u v2... the second half of this album was much more enjoyable with better beats and the drake leak that we all heard that was honestly one of the best. i think that my anticipation of this album was much higher only cuz i listened to that "1 am in ... read more
its good.
its not that good im hyping it up if im being straight up. the beat selection could be a little better to be honest. this does pain me cuz each song is actually alright but just not good enough to get added. there are mostly "misses" but this is still better than average music i swear.
