Let the Dead Bury the Dead 2017 Album

No Malice

I really like this project. Aside from the usual tired-as-hell reminders that he used to sell coke, Malice comes in sharp from the first beat. The energy stays high, and he brings it every time he touches the mic. Some of the hooks could hit harder. Lines like, "You don’t buy it, it’s fake news" feel stuck in a specific moment, but they’re still catchy enough to separate themselves from the verses, which is important. When that hook-versus contrast fades, the whole song can fall flat. And there are also great ones like on 'Sky Crack' - "I hear the horns!" He does occasionally fall into that Pusha T habit of saying a lot while not actually saying much, but the production, his flow, and delivery carry it through. It’s a consistent, slept-on 10-track album, albeit some of the tracks do blur together a bit too much in production.
