Yung Lean, for all his perceived faults, remains one of the most interesting and captivating figures in the international hip-hop world. The strange and always ethereal style that he started out with would give way to a darker sound that resulted in one of the best works of cloud rap to date. Yet, on this surprise mixtape, Lean sounds rejuvenated and lively, positive even, and really sounds like he's enjoying himself. The production is more crystalline rather than ethereal or cloudy this time around, but since the likes of whitearmor, Gud, Acea, and company are handling it, you know it's going to be top-notch regardless. The features are also worthwhile, especially in the case of Adamn Killa and Bladee, with "Hennessy & Sailer Moon", "Cashin", and "Head 2 Toe" all being highlights boosted by their presence. One can't help but notice and enjoy how Frost God contrasts with Warlord, but you never know what you're going to get with Lean. Depends on his mood.
