i'm taking study notes rn for my physics course and i haven't realized i finished this album to an entire one sitting. Chance the Rapper’s “Acid Rap” knocked down the door for artists like Smino to feel confident that having good music with a message and careful strategy was enough to break into an industry largely dominated by a select few gatekeepers. ( Log Out /  Note: He’ll also be at Broccoli Fest on the 6th. Shop Blkswn [LP] VINYL at Best Buy. Smino knew this was coming, but he didn't know whether to be thankful for it or to pray for some peace again. First time listen can be quite overwhelming seeing the versatilty that Smino has. Hip-hop in the 2010s straddles a fine line between “traditional rap,” hard hitting bars with bass-drenched beats, and R&B.

This has some filler songs and some cringy lyrics rarely, but they are there. J Cole's was 2014 Forest Hills Drive. His debut record is the perfect example of this. In enters "Edgar Allan Poe'd Up" featuring TheMind with a simple nighttime ballad that could be mistaken as a love song on first listen.

He mentions his vices and how he's been dealing with them to her.

It's a rightfully placed track though, with all of the themes of the album coming to a helm. Further complementing Booker’s production choices are a number of track transitions that keep the album sounding vivacious and evolving. ", but in "Ricky Millions" featuring the beautiful voice of Drea Smith he seems to have a heart to heart with his lucky someone. ( Log Out /  "Glass Flows" featuring the ever amazing Ravyn Lenae (the notes she hits in this song are heavenly) switches gears and reflects on that one that you should've never given the time of day. Vices are starting to enter the album with the previous songs about the "Anitas", but a new one has been introduced with a drunk Smino banging on a door late at night.

We have seen every new rising artist go through the process: they start to blow up and after the initial life change wears off, a sort of reflection happens.

THis album is full of quotables, truly this is full of catchy songs and melodies. It sets a nice vibe but it is really nothing special. The final track, "Amphetamine", is a surprise two for one with hidden talent since it offers no features in the title. It does seem awkwardly placed though, as we fall back into another song for the ladies. The chorus echos, "I think I made you too special..." and all you can remember is the remorse you felt the last time you caught your would-be boo in some unsavorable pictures on Instagram. Quase tudo a se esperar de um disco de Hip Hop que flerta com o R&b contemporâneo está aqui...um tracklist longo, atmosfera bem visual da sonoridade, bebendo da black music clássica mas com um toque bem moderno nas estruturas das músicas com toda a eletrônica de sintetizadores e beats. When Smino doubles up (or in the case of hidden track “Khrash Kourse” quadruples up) with a guest the tracks align more closely to duets than most features in the modern hip-hop and r&b scene.
