Even though Rome Streetz isn't doing much different from what he's done before both lyrically and performance-wise, the hard-hitting boom bap vibes throughout this are absolutely fantastic. It's not an album Rome needed to overthink in order for it to slap.

The absolute epitome of trap music, bar none. It has the grandiose nature, sophistication, and ambition of an MBDTF that has never been replicated again, making it as fresh of a listen today as it has been at its first release. Rodeo is Travis' most grand statement as the entirety of it heightens the trap genre to its most trippy and maximalist state. It's simply glorious on all fronts.

Travis Scott's latest highly-anticipated venture is one hell of a ride with very strong focus on a more dark and ethereal sound. The production is fantastic and the album is loaded with great feature choices, making it definitely one of the more exciting listens of 2023. For many, the album is a grower. For me, it was great on first listen and beyond.

This album has been a slow burner for me. At first it didn't land as hard, mostly because of how fantastic Currents was. Frankly, I shouldn't have been looking for that level of quality here, because The Slow Rush is a great album in its own manner after multiple listens. The instrumentals are catchy, the vocals are great, and the album simply became more likable as a whole for me.
