Let's Start Here.

This is Lil Yachty's magnum opus and easily one of the strongest and surprising releases of the year so far.

I'll admit, i really did not expect what i was going to listen to when i dived in this and i didn't hear the leaks that came out so this was a completely new experience for me. From what i could tell, it was Lil Yachty, he's known for the usual uninteresting trap shtick that he does, yadayada, but the AI generated album art intrigued me and was enough for me to get into this, and little did i know, it blew me the FUCK away. I'm confident when i say that this is a nearly flawless, psychedelic, HEAVILY EXPERIMENTAL and mind fucking experience and you can tell Lil Yachty put an immense amount of love and energy into this. Front to back, the production throughout this record is absolutely phenomenal and the synths and electronic noises are really groundbreaking and the highlights in this record. The transitions track to track are incredibly seamless and sometimes you can't tell if you're on the next or not. Lil Yachty's vocals and the features accompanying him are also beautiful and he shows himself to be really vulnerable and at his most personal in this record. There's really obvious influences in this, like the opening track sounding straight up like a Pink Floyd track featuring Lil Yachty, but that's ok. That's the album's strength and Lil Yachty expands on this experimental sound more and doesn't shy away from trying out his own thing as this album goes on.

Overall, this album blew me away and Lil Yachty took a hard fucking left turn that paid off TREMENDOUSLY.
