If you were ever curious about what the internal monologue of a crazy woman was, this project is that but it’s also unsure if its rap straight up spoken word. I have never been more uncomfortable. She breathy talking into cheap mic, just bouncing from emotional deliveries and trying her best to get fear boners out of the listeners. The constant inflection changes is so manic and adhd that I lowkey started to mimic her delivery in my mind. The production is mostly smooth but has allot going on, just thrown together effects on top of nice loops to make it pop a bit more and I wasn’t mad at it. The quality on this wasn’t great but bad enough to make you think that if it was good maybe the whole project would sound different. There was allot going on with what was presented. The weird skits that would turn into songs after with the same beat felt very random as far as thought. The content was very realistic though I know a good amount of ladies like her, and when she decided to rap rap you can feel the content, her vocab and style, its just all over most of the time or something always had to be extra. You can tell she’s an artist for sure, she just gotta clean up her sound around her manic thoughts to give listeners some sort of direction, outside of that I hope she never changes her style. Id pass on this one but keep an eye out just in case.
