First heard about this dude from some concert clips of him opening for Ken Carson.

Based off those initial bits I heard, he kinda reminded me of a “better” version of Ian (who was popping off around that time I believe.)

But upon actually exploring this guys music it’s clear that assessment wasn’t really correct at all.

From a hip hop perspective this guy vocally seems to pull a lot more from acts like Bladee, and hyperpop music. And on top of that, a lot of the ... read more

The more you dig into it the more devastating it is

I THOUGHT ABOUT BUT I NEVER DID IT HELL YEAH BROTHER

Kendrick dropping a strongly west coast hip hop record after having a massive west coast uniting moment seems incredibly appropriate.

As per usual there’s bangers and songs that make you think, but it definitely leans on the more fun side of things making it stand out a little bit in his discography.

[edit:]
Yeah after 2 listens this goes hard. Idk what else to say.

Musically there’s some strong Wolf era Tyler the Creator influence and a lot of the production is genuinely well put together.

However lyrically and stylistically Detahjae fails to give us a good picture of HIM and what makes him unique as an artist much of the time.

Regardless there still are some songs worth checking out on here, (eg. Janice), and given he’s talented enough to put this together, I imagine he’ll be an artist who continues to grow and put out interesting ... read more

Already was a great mixtape but the additional tracks make it a great album

On release I didn’t understand the appeal of this album but as time goes on I think I’ve come around to it. Lyrically it’ got a rough almost deep fried presentation filled with nonsensical lyrical bragging about money, sex and drugs, and musically it’s filled booming beats that both sound very indebted to the modern rage scene but also reminiscent of the sound Chief Keef helped pioneer. There’s something mindlessly enjoyable about it.

Get this man off the nitrous

it’s cool I guess

It’s good but man is it a far cry from the Dawn FM tracks in the same vein :/

A fun listen start to back but occasionally it feels like she hides behind the production more than I wish she did

Some of the songs are trying a little too hard to be commercial friendly, and sure you could argue that’s lore related but that doesn’t change the fact that they sound a bit painful.

So so so underrated

The production on this project is absurdly good, and it doesn’t feel especially long even at 22 tracks. My only real complaint would be there definitely are a couple songs that are a little redundant and could’ve been cut.

Prime up!!!!!!

Love this. Feels like the combination of influences is unique to him, and while the songs are rather short, they rarely feel undeveloped.

Nothing necessarily groundbreaking but it’s a solid and enjoyable debut that does help prove that Million Dollar Baby isn’t all he can do

Plutoski got that Donda 2 influence 🔥

I don’t usually listen to metal but Jesus Christ this hits hard

Solid sophomore record with a slightly more big budget / pop sound this time around. For the most part it’s pretty solid, if occasionally teetering on wearing its influences on its sleeve a bit (for example, Soft Spot could’ve been on a record by The 1975 almost ten years ago)
