I'll start with the unpopular opinion from the jump. I don't get the love for the opener. It sounds overproduced to me. I don't like it at all. The next, 'High End Country', sounds like an average trap song. Nothing to get excited about. 'I Make It Easy' is the first one to get the head boppin'. Some nice rapping from KRIT over a good beat with a soul sample. 'Addiction' would be great without Wayne. Dope as hell beat. Jesus, he is terrible though. Cringe pussy bars, that he does as often as anyone with his annoying fucking voice. He makes it lose a star easy. I need a remix of the song with someone replacing his verse.
'Energy', is one of, if not the strongest song from the 3 EPs he dropped that he has decided to throw on this album. 'Obvious' is decent thanks to its bouncy, poppy beat. 'I Made'-decent trap song. 'Everytime' returns the album back to a soul feel. 'Believe' is strong. It's trap but has more to it productionally than the previous heavy trap songs do. 'Prove It'-I don't love the hook here at all. Sounds like some Future shit. The verses do enough to make it more than decent though. 'Family Matters'-Apart from the Oprah parodying, "You get a plate, you get a plate, you get a plate", part, this is fairly lackluster. The sample aside, 'Blue Flame Ballet' gives off a Devin the Dude feel. Lyrically, it's a standard 'fell in love with a stripper' song, but the production is on-point with some funk and also featuring a good hook. 'Learned from Texas' was another stronger track from the EP's we got. A high energy track with another catchy hook. 'Outer Space'-More trap production. Nothing to get excited about here. 'High Beams' is another weaker song. 'Life in the Sun' is laced with quick percussion and powerful keys and is another favourite. 'M.I.S.S.I.S.S.I.P.P.I.' almost sounds like some Andre Benjamin shit. Funky with some unique rhyme patterns.
The last thing I loved from KRIT was 'Cadillactica'. It has a lot of high moments. I don't think this does. A couple of songs scrape in for 4/5, there is too much of a generic trap sound featured and it lacks some of the great production touches and subjects that I think makes the best KRIT music so good.
