After two albums this year built around a hard, bangin’ West Coast sound, this one feels noticeably softer, leaning more into trap and more modern themes. With three releases in such a short span, the strain is starting to show. This is all okay, but nothing here leaves a lasting impression. My enjoyment has dropped with each recent project but the gap from this to his last is wider.
There’s also a stretch of four songs, from 'Smokin on the Best' to 'Superstition', that blur together with the same laid-back vibe and predictable female-sung hooks. And I’ve said it before, but he really needs to retire that grating scream he throws on every track. It’s gone from a signature to an annoyance. A low 3/5.
