Its very hard to listen to this and not think he’s doing his best Kendrick Lamar impression. Strictly impersonating and recreating the parts of good kid, m.A.A.d city that he enjoys the most or taking advantage of what K.Dot does not do as much of anymore. If you listen without knowing Kendrick, its just weirdo cadence and delivery, stacked up to make something hit a more airy angelic type vibe. It’s not bad but the mix makes it stand out so much to the point of it being cartoonish and gets annoying, like a constant buzz in your ear. It has moments where it slides and you can hear the vision, but overall it needs him to find a little more variety to mix it up but also make it his. I get the homage etc, and on that end it feels very try hard but with a bit of shame. I would skip on this but he was dancing with some success when it comes to taking this sound and making something fun out of it.
