Higher than 5% of albums we've rated

The album showcases strong collaborations and trap production but lacks cohesive flow and lasting depth.

What we noticed

  • The album features a high number of collaborations, with multiple guest artists appearing on nearly every track.
  • Many tracks utilize a trap beat structure, characterized by heavy bass and hi-hats, creating a consistent rhythmic foundation.
  • The sequencing includes interludes that break up the flow, providing brief pauses before transitioning to new themes.

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.
