This has to be some of the most generic pop rap I've heard in years.

A smooth, enjoyable, inoffensive display of pop-rap at its finest. It doesn?t do anything out of the ordinary, but the predictability is at times rewarding.

This is a lot better than I first realized. It's grown on me quite a bit.

Aminé's debut studio album Good for You is a lot like the musical equivalent of a good summer movie that makes you feel all good inside like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. There's plenty of fun to be had throughout the album's 15 tracks (Yellow, Caroline, Spice Girl), but isn't until the back end that Aminé's bars become a little more sincere and introspective. In that way, these tracks kind of serve as Cameron's existential crisis towards the end of Ferris Bueller (Sundays, Turf, Dakota) - in which our protagonists realize while fun has in fact been had, there's still a life full of responsibilities and consequences to get back to. And while Aminé definitely shows room for growth, Good for You is an overall solid project that indulges in some good sugary fun while also providing a bit more introspection than his XXL Freshman would currently delve into. In that way, Good for You is good for all of us. rBest Tracks: Veggies, Yellow, Spice Girl, Turf, Blinds, HeebiejeebiesrWorst Track: STFU

THIS GUY IS NOT A ONE HIT WONDER. Remember Caroline? This is the guy who made that song, and he just dropped his debut album. He made the XXL list and was by far one of the stronger artists on the cover. I had very high expectations for this album (which can be dangerous), but he performed above my expectations. The bottom line is that this guy is just on another level. He's WAAAY too talented. He had the ability to tell a detailed and complex story, create a hook that gets stuck in your head, engage his audience and get them to listen to what he's saying. Give him a chance because he finna blow up hella quick. Veggies is an amazing song AND THAT BEAT CHANGE UP OMG. Turf is one of my favourite songs rn. Heebiejeebies is a great closing track that is so well composed. Every song on this album has something to offer. I would love to see Aminé experiment with some different sounds and genre-bending. He has the potential to go down in history.

Reminds me of a more party-oriented version of Chance The Rapper, if that makes sense. Also the dude name drops Fela Kuti, so he gets immediate cool points for that. Amine, as you probably know, landed on the XXL Freshman class for 2017, designating him as an up-and-comer to keep an eye on. While those lists aren't always the standard-bearers for the best new talent, Amine could definitely make a better case to be on there than several others. Good For You is not only a fun, upbeat listen, it's also one of the more positive hip-hop records of the year. Though oftentimes positivity falls prey to cliche and cheese, Amine's able to avoid both by keeping his flows smooth, his voice toned, and his lyrics low-key (despite a face-palming pop culture reference here and there). The production also follows suit, with some mellow, yet quite colorful beats coming together with more energetic and lively ones. It's not a sound entirely his own, but Amine is pretty good at this stuff, and hopefully he can use that skill to mold himself a style all his.
