| 4.0 excellent | Bedex | November 25th 19 |
This one feels more consistent than 444, but also its high points felt like they didn't
reach the same heights, explaining my low ratings. Not the best conditions either but don't
think it affected me too much. The best part is the middle of the album, followed by its
last third, as the album goes back to the same brand of soft, cloudy, hazy, nocturnal rap
that was so enjoyable on 444's blue half. 3 is the first track of that kind, but didn't
quite amaze me because his delivery often sounds like he's just talking to you. 4 and 5 are
jams, the latter having the most successful feat of the two. 6 has a lovely deconstructed
lo-fi hip-hop instrumental with a sweet sax sample, and I wish the track focused on that
more than on his vocals which feel like they're mixed too prominently. Really didn't like 7
because the flow is exactly the same as Bodak Yellow's and it might be a funny reference or
something but hearing Cardi B from a male soft-spoken rapper in French just doesn't sit
right with me. Thankfully, 8 closes the album quite nicely without being a jam. 1 and 2
were in a different style and I enjoyed them less. Kinda feel out of place, like the pink
half on 444 a bit. Overall this is solid, but I much prefer 444 for all the jams it had.
3.9

| 4.3 superb | Erwann S. STAFF | November 21st 19 |
Let's talk about language on this one. He fuses "classic" French language, French and Arabic slang, verlan (a specific French tongue where you reverse the order of the syllables) as well as touches of Japanese and English here and there. He also changes his rhyme pattern every verse, so the whole lot feels very diverse while retaining its uniqueness. His strongest EP, that came out 444 days after his first one, 444 Nuits.
