Each and every member manages to shine through on BROCKHAMPTON’s second installment to their SATURATION Trilogy - bringing a cutting-edge and refreshing sound to modern hip-hop once more
The Chinese Hip-Hop equivalent to an Illmatic or gkmc
the second installment of the Young Fresh Chin series delves deeper into the darker political and societal topics not commonly discussed in its genre and perfects it through vivid storytelling, amazing beats, and exceptional flows — earning its place as one of the greatest Chinese Hip-Hop albums of the decade, if not all time
‘Winter Sweet’ shifted its focus from Soft Lipa’s smooth rhymes to the instrumentals, being a more instrumentally lush and mature project than ‘Lotion’, it’s a very different experience (and a vibe really) - however the fact that there are only 4 ‘actual’ tracks on the project seems quite underwhelming. While I do appreciate spacing between tracks, 3 interlude/instrumental tracks in a row is a little much.
Still a very enjoyable project tho
A Highly concise and consistent collaborative effort from Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist, though often gets overrated when put alongside other outstanding records from the 2020s decade
