| 3.6 great | Erwann S. STAFF | March 8th 21 |
Coops coopsin' hard, ie: he navigates between chill and dark beats with a top-notch delivery and his oh-so-lovely Bri'ish accent. This time the beats are not limited to soulful jazz hop cuts, but what he gains in diversity, he loses in coherence, the tracks following each other in a mixtape fashion. Still, the dude's talented and his vibe is cool.

For a concept album this feels a lot like a mixtape, with a lot of dope tracks but low coherence between songs and a bit of an erratic construction. Still, the quality of individual tracks pulls this up by a lot. This is a Londoner offering his take on various American hip-hop variations and echoing back to a range of different artists. 1 evokes Nas, 2 evokes CYNE, 3 reminds of Wu-Tang, and after a mild interlude on 4, 5 explores more modern directions with its jammy use of autotune and dub vibes here and there. The darker turn at the end is cool, shame that the transition into it sounds like yourcomputer freezing. His delivery is top tier, diverse, and with the nice added touch of the accent only being the cherry on the cake. 7 lost me a bit, but 8 is really chill. The track is symptomatic of the record as a whole though, as the middle section and outro feel like a different track entirely. 9-10 go back to a 90s vibe, then 11 is chill again (a lovely track at that though), 12 has a bouncier summer vibe, and 13 is more nocturnal with a dope instrumental. See what I mean by the individual tracks being good but record construction being erratic? This was going to be a 3.7 but the dope jam closing the album, despite an unnecessary outro section bumps this back up to a 3.8
