Higher than 19% of albums we've rated

The album showcases solid trap elements but lacks standout moments that elevate it beyond its genre.

What we noticed

  • The album features a consistent use of triplet flows across nearly all tracks, emphasizing the rapid-fire delivery characteristic of trap music.
  • Each track typically follows a verse-chorus structure, with hooks that are often repeated to enhance memorability.
  • Several songs incorporate minimalist production, relying heavily on bass and hi-hats while leaving space for vocal interplay.
  • The last three tracks shift in tone, introducing more introspective lyrics and slower tempos compared to the earlier high-energy songs.

Influence 2/10

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
