It's Only Mid; The Newest Lil Baby Album Lacks Originality


Lil Baby's new album entitled 'It's Only Me' seriously lacks new ideas. Most songs contain identical energy and song structure from previous projects, with uninspiring and over-used flows. Some beats on the album take risks and have progressive-sounding drums, but others feel years old with their lack of originality. The track California Breeze has an interesting beat and shows that Lil Baby could expand his sound and get creative if he really wanted to. Forever has another interesting instrumental but the artist’s verse feels unfinished and rough. There’s even a track titled Not Finished which ironically sounds like Lil Baby took the song’s leaked mp3 off of SoundCloud and had his engineer remaster it as quick as possible. For Lil Baby to remain relevant going forward, he’ll likely need to change significant elements of his vocal structure and flows in order to keep the hype high around his releases. Overall, the album is way too long and has a lot of filler tracks. If it were cut down to the best ten songs, the resulting album might have received better reviews. All extra tracks should have been saved for a deluxe album or additional project.

Rich Amiri's New Album 'Ghetto Fabulous' Cements His Name Among Biggest Up-And-Coming Rappers

Underground rapper 'Rich Amiri' has been putting in work this year. His last 2023 project 'Evolution' was aptly titled, as it reflected the rapper's hunger for growth and fame. Singles like 'Can't Die' and 'Poppin' (ft. Lil Tecca) were bouncy, aggressive and showcased Rich Amiri's unique flows and vocals over fresh Pluggnb beats.  'Ghetto Fabulous' takes everything good from his previous album and elevates ideas like never before. Songs such as 'One Call' and 'Codeine Crazy' contain addictive hooks and unique vocal melodies that sit over simple, aggressive beats.

Comethazine's Newest Album Is A Solid Continuation

St. Louis rapper Comethazine has always stuck to his guns throughout his career. Beginning in his SoundCloud days, the rapper has always preferred working with himself and keeping big-name features off of his albums in an effort to remain in a lane of his own. Comethazine's newest album, Bawskee 5, is exactly what you'd expect it might sound like. Packed with intense, hard-hitting production and obnoxious, offensive bars that fans of his music have come to love, the album comes across as nothing more than the natural progression of Comethazine's sound. The rapper's quality beat-choice helps conduct the high-energy atmosphere that Comethazine thrives in, and added vocal effects only enhance the madness. It's nice to see a few of the songs that have been teased over the past couple years are finally getting album placements, including the highly-anticipated single 500 Hours. Overall, Bawskee 5 is a great continuation of the artist's sound. Each song is reckless an
