Deen, another dude from the Entourage crew and Rap Contenders. His first EP/record follows the collective's steps: lush, boom bap-y beats with some jazz samples, and lyrics that are more conscious than brainless. Deen's best asset, his voice, is nicely used here, but it's clear he has not perfected it - he will truly let it shine in 2020. It's the dude's first version of himself tho, and you can feel some ideas do not suit him - when he tries to truly sing for example. This is however a mostly chill record in the same vein as the whole 2013-2014 L'Entourage aesthetic.

French rap with quite a few really tasty, lush nocturnal instumentals, but sadly with quite generic vocals with not too great delivery imo. Track 2 with its processed guest vox (really cool) show how much better this album could be with a different vocalist or kind of vocals, including track 1 and its very nice instrumental. Track 3 changes up the style a bit and is quite uninteresting and generic. 4 takes us back to the chill and is perhaps the top track here as his own vox work a lot better and the guest vox work well too, while the instrumental is in the vein of 1-2. Sadly this is broken again right away on 5 with its cringe vox all through. 6 does the same but far less cringe although it's still not great. 7 is quite nice but the chorus is boring, and 8 is eh with meh delivery and a not so interesting instrumental. Nice but since he is a solo act I don't have too much hope the flaws and things I don't like here would change in future records of his. 3.45
