As far as I understand this is a wholly independent project which is to be praised. I am not sure if the vocalist and the beatmaker are different people but it sure feels like so, because the beats are quite consistently good and the vocal deliveries consistently not my cuppa at all. The delivery feels very youtube-esque, and without even paying attention or looking at the lyrics they sometimes kinda feel off and meh. It's not always bad and it does feel really good when it occasionally works, but that is without fail short lived and soon replaced by m'kay to mildly cringe stuff. This is most frustrating on tracks like 1,3 or especially 8 which have great, delicate instrumentals, on 2 which would almost work as a slow house type track if only he didn't rap over it, the really cool and quite fat 6, and even on a track like 7 with a more conventional beat based on a very nice piano sample. He does succeed vocally on 4 relatively consistently, but that's the only example. The beats aren't faultless either. On top of the sometimes awful, sometimes kinda cool vocals, 5 feels like it butchers its Portishead sample by misconstruing it into some sort of trap beat. And on 9 there are formal mistakes with vocal samples and some drums mixed way way too high. This latter example convinced me to drop this a point on the basis that not even the beats can all save this. Jam this for the instrumental to 8, that's about it. Sorry man. 2.2
