I love this album. was going to post in rolling mumble rap (indeed it is kind of mumbly) but realized its strong enough front to back that it deserves its own thread. melodic disintegrating rap album about his grandfather's passing.

I tend to be iffy on lo fi post odd future type shit but he's actually great formally w a lot of the aspects those types of artists usually suck at--good consistent rapper voice, strong consistent vision that's surprisingly colorful, great melodic sense and singing voice, gift for lil compositional moments...sometimes sounds like a mos def singing track big kn a good way

Usually "consistent" is code for samey but he puts a lot together in a narrow package

Tbh I was more surprised it got such a middling review in pitchfork
On first listen, this is... very good? Omnivorous interests and understated flow, will try again.

Consistent is not a bad modifier here
