Previously On Isaiah Rashad....

I can't honestly tell you my introduction to Isaiah Rashad. I honestly have no clue at what point and time I started listening to his music. I just know at some point, "AA" and "A Lot" were some of my favorite songs to drive and smoke to. Sooner or later I shuffled and found "Park" which is the song I play when I'm frustrated and just wanna repeat something dope. Or maybe I'm trying to show someone his lyrical range. Whichever reason, "Park" quickly became one of my favorites from the album "The Sun's Tirade". On that very same shuffle, I found "Stuck in the Mud". I could honestly listen to him and Sza go back and forth with the hook all day long. One of those truly soul touching hooks, especially, and I say again, ESPECIALLY if you're going through something. Which leads me to "Silkk Da Shocka". Hands down my favorite song from the album that introduced me to Isaiah. As a person who has dealt with depression multiple times in my life, I cannot tell you how much the ending bridge alone means to me when he says "I don't wanna be here if I don't gotta/my weed habit so close to snorting powder". It made me reflect on my own usage and avoidance of the things I felt like were wrong in my life. So no, I really can't tell you when I got into Isaiah Rashad. What I can say, is when I found him, he quickly became one of my favorite artists and I looked forward to anything he was doing from there on. Enter "The House Is Burning"

Id like to start this album review a little different, with a quote from XXXtentacion. "So, ill offer this warning and set of instructions; if you are not open-minded, before you listen to this album, open your mind. If you don't listen to the alternative sound and you've never been into the alternative sound and have not been open to trying new things; open your mind before you listen to this album". This to me, says everything I would need to say to somebody who's listening to Isiah Rashad for the first time, or even more specifically the people reading this alternative review

When "Darkseid" opens, it feels like a time machine back to when I was a kid with the sound of the cassette turning over. Im talking about nostalgia era, the time when mixtape where the place to find your favorite artist performing at their best. The feeling I get from this track is one of jubilation and introspection. I feel introspective because this album dropped in the summer of the second year of COVID-19. At this time I was running around buying and reselling things from stores constantly. So the words "what am I supposed to do outside but get rich" could not have felt more true to my life, because since the beginning of the pandemic I had either been door dashing or buying things from the store to sell, so it embodied exactly how I felt. There is also a feeling of jubilation because of the same pandemic, that made all of us adjust differently, made me wait on new music and new movies with even more anticipation. Regardless of how good TENET was, it was AMAZING to me because I had been in the house dreaming of the day I could trip acid and go to the movies again. Same concept here. This track gave me a feeling of hope that one day things could get back to some kind of normal, although my favorite lyrics from the first track would never truly fade and would give me a sense of new purpose and ambition. Truly, "what am I supposed to do outside but get rich??"

Imagine the shootout scene thats usually at the end of a lot of "gangster" movies at the beginning. Thats the feel I got when "From the Garden" starts. Like I've skipped to the last scene in scarface and all I see is bullets flying, famous sayings and property damage. As an artist myself I can't help but think that this track was put in this order for that reason. To open up with one of the most action packed scenes of the album. Im not sure about others, but before I knew the lyrics I was bobbing my head to the beat because it just feels so great paired with the lyrics of the hook "came out bussin". While lil uzi isn't the artist I would generally pick in a lot of scenarios, his additions to this track are appreciated. Adding that extra layer of bragging makes this feel like the perfect track to open any fashion show with

Your roots are obvious. They may not be as obvious to you, but people can always tell once you begin to speak or show your creative side where you got influences from. For me, it would be hard to listen to my music and not find influences of Lupe. For Isaiah, its hard to listen to his southern drawl and musical tendencies and not think of an Outkast or a 3 6 Mafia, so the sample at the beginning of the song fits perfectly. As a person who was never cool in high school, the lyrics "they say I'm a cool cat, fuck that I'm a top dawg" felt like home for me. What I took from those words is fuck what they say that I am, I am whatever I say I am. This truly feels like the type of track that you would ride around after dark in Houston with, wearing sunglasses watching candy paint change colors in the passing lights.

Track order is important. I didn't feel this way as a youth, and even as recent as a couple years ago I've had arguments with friends about how it doesn't seem to impact my listening experience. This is an album that could easily prove me wrong. It may be just me, but at this point in the album I felt fully invested. Sure I had heard an album from him before, so true to my nature and trying to be a legit fan, I always listen all the way through at least once even if I don't like the music. In this case, its the opposite. I knew at this point I would be replaying this album at least a few times. I already had a specific bop that I came up with just for all the times Ive bobbed my head this far in the album alone. "Lay Wit Ya" is placed perfectly. After the last song, this feeling of riding around yet again with a crazy baseline was the perfect song to play next. If I felt like I was watching candy paint drip from others cars on the last one, this legit made me feel like I had joined a group of car enthusiasts in the same town, and this music is the soundtrack to us showing off the modifications we've all made to our cars. To further push this point, I won't chose any favorite lyrics for this song because I would have to list every word, every cadence and every adlib. Being a writer I usually chastise my friends for not being descriptive, but this track truly is just a VIBE

Have you ever had a significant other be on the way? I won't even go that far. Just somebody who you knew was down for anything and everything. For me that was a girl I met in the pandemic that was down to take acid etc. For you that may be talking to the girl you love until 4am about the rapidly declining state of society. Whatever that feeling is, if you could take that feeling, bottle it in 3:05 seconds, it would be this song. It feels like the perfect interlude from whatever you have been dealing with, to whatever experience that comes next and has you excited. Maybe thats Horizon Zero Dawn for you or a new strand of medical. But the feeling is something we can all relate to. Filled to the brim with anticipation. So when you listen to "claymore", just close your eyes and embrace the feeling of being on a hip hop elevator, taking you to the top floor

Something that Isaiah does well, is also a point of peoples critique about him. I recommended a friend his music, telling him my high opinion of this album and his work beforehand. For some context, me and this friend were arguing about Russ not really being that dope. He goes and listens to this album, and comes back with the opinion he didn't like it because, and I quote, "he isn't saying anything" on this album. If I wasn't already exhausted that day, this would have been my answer. He doesn't talk about "anything", he talks about EVERYTHING. I have not met him, but the general feeling I get from his music is not that of an artist who is telling you about a specific event, or even trying to teach you something. With tracks like "Headshots(4 da locals)" especially, my view is that he is making music for YOU to live to. He's not recanting the serendipitous terms under which he made it where he is now(Kendrick-Duckworth), he's not detailing a beautifully tragic story that he feels like he must pass on to others (J.Cole- 4 Your Eyes Only), he's giving you music thats just ambiguous enough that it could be about the guy you knew in high school, or your cousin Earn, or YOU. Thats what makes his music great to me, is that his greatness is used to get out of the way and let you be great. "You caught me by surprise, in my brand new whip/peep me in the scope, if I'm gone don't trip/bringing back the strong, up the bat, all hits baby"

Im not sure that anybody really makes rolling p music. Well, at least when it comes to rap it seems most songs are geared to the act of smoking itself. While I could be wrong, this song feels like a much closer version of what you would want to hear when you're rolling up. Whether its the tone and singing abilities of Amindi, or the almost brainwashed chanting sounds of Isaiahs words, but this is one of my favorite songs to roll up to

By the song "Hey Mista**"** I'm reminded of two things. One, he is one of the best at having an interesting opening line. "Bitch you a fever/bitch don't sweat me when I'm hot you want some leisure?" It probably doesn't even do it justice by just reading it, just like some of lil Wayne, Nicki or Kendrick's lines, its about how he says it. The second thing I'm reminded of, and honestly I'm not even sure if this is a thing when it comes to people reviewing albums, is that one of his great strengths could also be considering a weakness. The last 2 songs by themselves aren't bad by any means. But when you put these 2 one after another on an album, it sounds like 2 interludes back to back. While "All Herb" and "Hey Mista" are actual songs, they give off much more of an interlude feeling to me even for Isaiahs standards. So having them back to back make them a general area I skip when replaying the album as a whole

One of the standouts, or maybe one of the songs that Isaiah got the formula exactly right is "True Story". With lines like "can't make it to Atlantis on a jet ski mane" its easy to see Isaiah is in his purest form. Lines that hit like its just another dope phrase over the beat but when analyzed proves that truthfully he does have something to say, its just that you may not hear it. Its evident here that if every rapper has a superpower, his would be the music that incorporates his lyrics. Like a steak burrito with handmade wrappings and extra accouterments, its just as much about the presentation and whats around it. Any fans of Jay Rock would definitely feel appreciative of the bop he brings to this track, chopping up his flow to match the bass, and Jay Worthy opens his verse to some of my favorite albeit direct lyrics, "Bailing through the hood the other day/I ran into my older brother Dre/he told me keep that toolie on your waist/you know I do it, do it for the gang". While these lyrics may not make the most dedicated Griselda fan feel anything on paper, I encourage you to hear these words over the aforementioned beat and not nod your head.

"What You Sed" just feels like the perfect track to drive down the Las Vegas strip with your windows up and the music blaring, while all the bright lights pass by and reflect off your windows. It reminds me of the feeling that i got from Saint Jhns Ghetto Lennys Love Songs album because it truly feels like something you wouldn't enjoy nearly as much without money in your pocket. Without some feeling of freedom or ability to just go out and get into some shit. Not one to hide his influences, when Isaiah says "All the hoes with the shorts in ya ass/and you got the D'USSÉ falling out your glass/oh man, I don't want ya in the club/cause your pussy popping start fights in the club/come through in your new rental car/bitches all in your face 'cause you a star/and you come with 'bout four-five hoes/down to fight anything straight out the door" its makes me feel like this is the type of bridge Pimp C would be proud of. While he does sound directly like him, you can tell its in an unconscious and paying homage way versus ripping off a dead man just for the love he got to be yours

"Southside said you aint got nothing to live for, so you aint got nothing to lose (DONT SHOOT)" have to be some of my favorite lyrics by far. I feel there are many ways you can take this. From face value with everything that had went on this year and the year before, it felt like a cry out to stop police violence against minorities. I felt so at home watching cops roll by and reciting these lyrics as if they could somehow get them to understand I'm human just like them. But you could also take it as a cry out against the violence inflicted by your own people. The kind of violence that makes me think of the kendrick lyrics from "Blacker the Berry", "So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street/when gang banging make me kill a n***** blacker than me?? Hypocrite". Whichever way you take this song, its equally important because this is Isaiah's anthem to whichever cause you believe in, be it one or both. This is what makes him great, his ability to make a great song that you can fill in the blanks. Good superheroes make you feel safe. Great ones make you feel like you can be one too

"Chad" has got to be not only one of my favorites, but one of the main highlights from the album. Its undeniable that he has a certain bop when it comes to his flow and the beats he picks to bend corners and phrases on. So, with anything so unique, there are going to be times when everything hits just perfectly. I argue that this song is one of those examples. When I first heard this song I was excited for the literal meaning. The confidence it would take to say, even if I wasn't doing the thing I'm known for, the thing that most people would argue I'm the best at, I would still be living well. While everybody might not see Mercedes as a symbol of success, the idea of wanting to be successful no matter what situation we are placed in is something everybody can relate to. I would imagine thats why there have been characters like McGyver or Inspector Gadget over the years, because the of the idea of being able to handle anything thrown at you. Part of this track's strength is that he always chooses the right person for the job, but in this scenario the perfect pick even wrote a perfect verse for the song in the idea that it didn't take away or distract from what Isaiah did, but it added to it.

"The way you suck a dick you get a B plus/the way you suck a dick you get a Prius" are also some of my favorite lyrics, even being on a track I don't generally find myself listening to much since the original play through. Nothing is exactly wrong with this songs, he even has one of the more interesting flows on the song, but something about it doesn't connect for me. When you master the ability to bend your flows and do music the way he does, you end up competing with yourself because there will be songs you will be able to do that better on, and songs that it won't hit as hard on. So in that regard, id rather hear "Headshots (4 da locals)" or another similar track instead of this one.

"Score" is the last track I felt somewhat uninterested in. As a fan of all 3 artists (Isaiah, SZA, and 6Lack), this song also didn't really hit for me. While on paper I thought this might be as enjoyable as "Stuck in the Mud", it turned out to just be an okay track from 3 artists I really like. Nothing truly worthy of a quote here, but it doesn't make this a bad song. I think of a great movie that had a slow beginning or odd scene here and there. It doesn't take away from what the album meant as a whole, but when I'm excitedly brining up the movie to my friends, this isn't a scene I would recant for them

"THIB" is either my favorite or my second favorite because I can never narrow down my picks. "Who's that creeping in my window/whos that fucking with my conscious" felt like the perfect anthem to ride around smoking to. "My niggas know I loco/dont tell Rashad he's a star on the low-low/and raising bars like Lamar on the pogo/im selling art, selling souls by the BOGO, at the dojo" alone made me excited to hear this song again and again just for the way he delivers those lyrics. As I've said before, these aren't the lyrics of a Black Thought or a Conway that make you feel like every punchline comes with a gut punch. But these are the perfect slices of the finest steak accompanied with the best ingredients which in this case, is the hook and everything said in the verses before this line. I can't say that I've ever soul searched to Isaiahs music the same way that I have to Ghostface Killah's "All That I Got is You", but isn't that the point? I can't imagine how boring life would be if we were all philosophers and mathematicians looking for exact measurements.

"HB2U" is my favorite track. Until I move "THIB" above this briefly because of the feeling I get sitting at the light to that song. Almost as if he's aware he gave you the most action packed scenes earlier on, instead of reaching for something to send you out of the theaters in awe of the carnage, he delivers this song. The opening sample says "Is there a heaven?///Yes////How do you know that??//You don't". I couldn't imagine a better opening that would show you within a couple seconds, he has something specific to say on this song. This won't be one of the songs he makes thats a soundtrack to your daily life, whether thats excitement or monotony. On this song, he displays some of his more deep thought ideas such as "if not these n****s, bet your senses betray ya", and honestly in 31 years I've only recently truly understood what this means. Some type of downfall is inevitable, even if its brief. It will almost certainly be caused by someone you trust, or something you trust like your own judgement. "I hope it all makes sense to ball like this, the large address" is a line I think of constantly as I grow in my career. Hoping that I'm doing the right thing by going after more money and more status in spite of the years that have taught me money isn't everything. "Ay baby, I have no reason to stay baby, my dreams too big for this city and Myrtle Beach aint vacation" drills home that sometimes you have to leave where you are comfortable. Outgrowing where you know and the cage you're accustomed to can definitely be a good thing, as long as you find new ways to elevate your freedom and remove the ceiling to your growth. The final lyrics I want to quote are a different kind of lyric. Maybe not something you would generally think and deep dive on, but something that caught my ear immediately when I heard it "I pray for many thanksgivings, I pray that tifa don't cook/you know her momma put, sugar in her greens thats that shit I never seen befo'" Honestly, I think these are the only important lyrics. Why? Because they are so unique to Isaiah Rashad that you couldn't really imagine anyone else saying them. Because they show the comfort that he has to be who he is instead of dying to be as lyrical as Jay Z or as street as a Pooh Shiesty. Because they aren't something you can really describe or put into words in any way that would come close to hearing and experiencing yourself. In a way, they are exactly like this album. Love it or hate it, you have to at least respect that he doesn't seem to care one way or the other because his bottom line is doing what he loves.

Thank you for reading! I did not review the bonus version, I heard it once and didn't really like what it changed the album into personally. Also a different type of review for me, as I did the Off Season review the normal way I enjoy with a heavy inclusion of lyrics, I felt this time it would be cool to do a review almost solely based off my feelings from the music, the feeling the music itself carries, or using analogies to connect how I felt with a description without describing the sounds of the music itself. I hope you enjoyed and I look forward to writing you again!

Question 1. How did this album make you feel?

Question 2. Is this type of music something you are interested in? Why or why not?

Question 3. (For people who enjoyed this album) What are your favorite lyrics and why?

Edit : please excuse any spelling errors I was tripping acid yesterday and was supposed to write this but didn't so I woke up, wrote this and posted without proof reading :)

Backround

Brockhampton's boisterous Saturation days are the stuff of legends. The self made internet boy band put out 3 albums in just over 6 months. A release schedule that was made even more impressive by the fact that every aspect was done in house. Production, Mastering, Mixing, Design and Promotion was all handled by the group of collaborative creatives, all living in one house in south LA. The run of albums rocketed the group to great heights amongst hip hop heads around the world. It's combination of fun creative bangers and beautiful introspective moments showed the world how to combine the talents of a large group into impressively cohesive captivating tracks. Since then though the boy band has gone through a lot of changes. A multimillion dollar deal with RCA put a lot of pressure on the members. As well as them moving into separate houses and managing their separate lives. But the biggest post Saturation shock was the accusations leveled at key member Ameer Vann. Accused of emotional and physical abuse, Ameer was kicked from the group after what seemed like a hard split. This lead to them having one less voice in the group, a voice that many considered crucial to bringing a harder sound into the tracks with grittier verses and memorable lines. Ameer's departure has split the fan base since. Some people believe that he should rejoin whereas others stand by the decision to remove him based on the allegations. Pointing out the group's condemnation of abuse on the saturation trilogy, especially Matt Champion's verse on the song Junky. The decision was also made to scrap their upcoming 4th album Puppy after the Ameer situation. Stating that his creative impact on the project made it not possible to release in their current mind state. All though key tracks have leaked from this album including the superb Ready for War. Their eventual follow up to the Saturation era, 2018's iridescence and 2019's ginger were much more somber moments for the group. The best parts of these projects were emotional and beautiful cuts such as Tonya or Dearly Departed. based on the group's new found ability to write tracks on emotional events that they had all experienced together since blowing up. But the more high paced and party vibe based tracks were mostly absent. Despite them grabbing their biggest hit with the song SUGAR featuring Ryan Beatty. Which peaked at #66 on the Billboard top 100. These albums though we're not received to the same acclaim as the Saturation era as a lot of people believed that they would never make the fun pop rap inspired boisterous cuts that made them heroes to a modern generation of hip hop listeners. That brings us to Road Runner, the 6th full length album from the group. Released on the 9th of April 2021. It was supported by a long promo run and 2 singles. BUZZCUT featuring Danny Brown and Count on Me featuring SoGoneFlexy and A$AP Rocky, with background vocals from Ryan Beatty and Shawn Mendes. But this record will now sadly go down as Brockhampton's last effort together. That we know of. As the group announced that they would take "an Indefinite hiatus" focusing on solo work instead. This in my mind rephrases this album as a final victory lap of all the sounds that Brockhampton attempted in their other albums. And finally throw back to both what made the saturation albums so special and what makes their post saturation efforts emotionally captivating in their fans minds.

Review

BUZZCUT - featuring Danny Brown

Buzzcut was the first official single from Brockhampton in 2 years, and as a single it is meant to show that after all this time the group is still able to make the creative bangers that they built their name on. After the melancholic downturn of Ginger, Buzzcut sets out to remind us of what Brockhampton can do. The beat is built around an altered vocal sample designed to have the same piercing qualities of a siren. As well as drums that rupture the mix. The bass so trunk knocking that it flashes us back to highlights of the saturation days. Add to this the crazed verses from Kevin and Danny brown And a horn flourished psychedelic finish that ascends us into the rest of the album. It all comes together to form a fiery start to an album that won't stay pinned down.

CHAIN ON - featuring JPEGMAFIA

The first edition of CHAIN ON was originally released as part of the Technical difficulties sessions. A series of loosies and quick songs that were created during lockdown. The song is relatively simple. With a beat made from a short Issac Hayes sample and simplistic drums. What carries the song really is the rapping from both JPEGMAFIA and Dom McLennon. Whilst Peggy's verse is simply a barrage of endless quotables. "Slick with the ink, these melodies need DuoLingo. Same sise a Dua Lipa, where the fuck my pen go." Dom takes a more vivid lyrical stance. Touching down on his African roots, "Hanging from a Chandelier in Babylon. We dont believe in white gods getting rattled on." cultural descrimination and revolution. "Been ten toes down with my city on my shoulders. You got no idea how that weight could make you colder." Dom always brings some incredible writing and this verse is no exception. His lyricism remains underrated in my mind.

COUNT ON ME - featuring SoGoneFlexy, A$AP Rocky, Ryan Beatty and Shawn Mendes

This was the second single from this record and sadly it is probably the worst song on the album. Mostly because it seems like a shallow attempt to recreate the popularity of Sugar. The chorus is the highlight of the song with a catchy refrain and great vocals from Ryan and Shawn Mendes. But the verses feel unconnected to the rest of the song. Unlike with Sugar where the verses focused on the feelings of longing. The guest verses here from SoGoneSoFlexy and A$AP Rocky both seem half baked and unfocused. As Well as Matt champions verse being too understated for its own good. All together COUNT ON ME is unfocused and inauthentic. Luckily from here the record pulls out all the stops.

BANKROLL - featuring A$AP Ferg and A$AP Rocky

This should have been the other single. It is everything Brockhampton fans from the Saturation era want. The beat is hypnotic and full of bubbling dark synths. As Well as drums that constantly change and mold over the song's course. From a production perspective the song is flawless. Full of wee details that you only notice on your 10th or 20th listen. The chorus is also flawless with my personal favorite member of brockhampton, Meryln dropping some strangely endearing lines with dark undertones. "*Always have to save you from a sunken thing. ".*The chorus is also emphasized by A$AP rocky's braggadocious lyrics and echoed calls of BANKROLL. Meryln gets a stand out verse on this song as he drops quotables for miles. "Have to break down the Berlin wall just to come talk to ya." "make it fit like nuts and bolts. One nut and I'm boltin' off." Sliding over this beat like it's in his genes. A$AP Ferg also drops an explosive barked first verse. With energy that feels straight out of his earlier work. The song just feels effortlessly dark but continues to be just as engaging months after its release. BANKROLL comes together to create what is in my opinion one of the best trap inspired songs of the year. Remaining in constant rotation for wintertime.

THE LIGHT

This is my song of the year. It's really an incredible moment in the Brockhampton catalog. To start off with the lyrics. This song is based around the two verses. The first from JOBA and the second from founding member Kevin Abstract. Kevin's verse is a dark look back on growing up disenfranchised with both his family and heritage because of his sexuality." I still struggling with telling my mum who I'm in love with. " As Well as a powerful statement on his religion. "Losing jobs while losing god, then everything is tumbelling." His energy makes you feel every line. But the heaviness of his verse is greatly overshadowed by Joba's show stopping performance. After losing his father to suicide at the end of 2020, Joba feel into a spiral of depression and hatred. And all of this is laid out in one of the most powerful verses I have ever heard. He sounds like he's on the verge of either a fit of tears or rage, as he unleashes bars such as. "When I look at myself I see a broken man. Remnants of my pops, put the Glock to his head." "Skull fragments in the ceiling, felt your presence in the room. Heard my mother squealing." "Master plans by the maker, I see no savior. Morbid reflections and stainless steel. Alcohol and pills, deadly combinations, left with nothing else to feel. A floral haven, hope it was painless.'' It is simply some of the most impactful poetry that has ended up on a hip hop song. Leaving you an emotional broken human by the end of the song. Also this is happening over an instrumental of raging guitars and roaring bass that gives the song such an encompassing presence that it's hard to ignore. A moment of power that really leaves you feeling heartbroken after every listen.

WINDOWS - featuring SoGoneSoFlexy

WINDOWS somehow tiptoes the line of Brockhampton nostalgia and a fresh sound. Being the only song on the album featuring verses from all the front of house members of Brockhampton, it teleports the listener back to the Saturation days. The production is pure banger territory. Dark simple piano and synth rhythms and drums that hit with the force of a hundred Chris Browns. Add to this a simple but instantaneously catchy short hook and a lowkey beat switch in the last minute and a half. And you have what is the most classic banger that the boys have put together since Saturation 3. The verses on here are all flames as well. Meryln and Dom being the standouts. Dom's energy and personal lyrics are just as on point as on CHAIN ON. And Meryln's verse feels like a cyther from the early 2010s. With some great lines laced in there too. "While I watch Washington's wooden teeth in her booty cheeks." Windows is simple in its perfection but layered enough to keep the most in depth listeners entertained, in a similar fashion as BANKROLL.

I'LL TAKE YOU ON - featuring Charlie Wilson

At this point the record continues to flip its emotional feel. I'LL TAKE YOU ON harnesses a summery feel, and is carried by its perfectly sliding chorus. It's pretty irresistible in its danceability. The vocals seem to run over each other hardly giving you a break in the song. Although some of the processing on the verses goes a bit too far in my opinion. Charlie Wilson's addition helps with this as his vocal tone is so recognizable. All though he is underutilized in this song. The lyrics focus on feelings of loving and being willing to wait for a person. With each member approaching the topic from a different perspective. But all together it merges seamlessly into a great performance. Topped with the sliding smile cracking production. It's a great, more romantic and light cut for the tracklist. Succeeding in being a more beautiful and catchy song than COUNT ON ME.

OLD NEWS - featuring Baird

This is the song that seems the most unimportant in the album. On the face it is a similarly summery song with heavy RnB influence. But being placed straight after I'LL TAKE YOU OWN makes it pale in comparison. The chorus is not nearly as catchy and whilst the beat is still impressively produced and arranged, it lacks the danceability which is such a big part of what makes I'LL TAKE YOU ON work. The redeeming factor of this song is the great verses from Joba and Braid. The latter especially, who works in some amazing imagery. "I'll do the live show for a one horse town. The blue black behind my eyelids of an unheard sound.`` It is a great verse which catches the ear in the middle of what is sadly the most forgettable song on the album.

WHAT'S THE OCCASION?

Throwing another massive spanner into the predictability of this album, WHAT'S THE OCCASION? starts off as a guitar twinged normal sounding brockhampton affair with understated introspective verses from Matt Champion and Joba. And a pitched chorus about the fragmentation of everyday life. The start of this track feels like something straight out of the iridescence era. But at the halfway point the chorus breaks down and we are left with an ascending piano that carries us into the true surprise of this song. A emo/alt rock heavy closer. With blaring guitars and distorted drums. Whilst personally I think that it is a bit too distorted and heavy. It makes for an interesting alleyway for the Brockhampton boys to explore.

WHEN I BALL

A personal highlight from the album truly is WHEN I BALL. It encapsulated the power of childhood. With nostalgic verses about growing up in hard times. Matt Champion has a great verse contrasting his younger years to the surprise of his success. A verse that paints a picture beautifully, "gritting the teeth down to the root, pain like cavity". But again it is Dom who shines brightest on this song. With one of his most heartfelt verses ever. He talks about growing up surviving alone, and the fear of losing his mother to the corrections system. A verse where every line is perfect in its beauty. Making you feel the connection he and his mother had. These verses and the nostalgic chorus are all wrapped in string laced gorgeous production. Arranged by the Brockhampton boys with help from the Neptune's own Chad hugo. It feels like a late registration Kanye Beat, but filled with childlike hope. This is simplistic and yet perfect moment for this album. Which is strange because of what follows straight after it.

DON'T SHOOT UP THE PARTY

One of the most interesting songs on the album. From the get go it's obviously super catchy and danceable. The production is distinctively west coast influenced like many other Brockhampton songs have. The bouncy bass and synthesizers that pierce straight into you. It has a very palpable energy. Creating the perfect bed for a super smooth but dark Matt verse. As well as a tension filled first verse from Kevin, who touches down on the paranoia that comes with his success and the unlikeliness of his situation. Painting Brockhampton in a light of determination. The whole song is lyrically stitched together by its unnerving chorus though. Shouts of "DONT SHOOT UP THE PARTY" alluding to people ruining the good times that the members of brockhampton were having. But also very immediately referring to the fear of someone shooting up a real party. As Joba states in his short bridge "what's the Issue, why you gotta grab that pistol, think about the people who gon' miss you." It stands as an abnormal theme for any group but it works in so many ways through the voice of Brockhampton. The song ties together for a paranoia banger that sends shivers down the spine.

DEAR LORD

DEAR LORD is the only seemingly interlude song on the album, but it holds an important meaning as a tone setter for the finale of the record. This track features only vocals from Bearface, who has a distinctive voice that shines through on the closing tracks of the Saturation era. His voice is truly saturated in emotion. And it's perfect for the moment. The song really hits hard when you learn that it was written for Joba after his father passed. Taking the structure of a hymn, Bearface calls for God to come down and show his love for Joba and make his life a little bit brighter. This reconnects to the themes of religion explored on their previous album Ginger. Peered with vocal layering and a soft electric piano for the last moments. It is truly a touching short moment of reflection before we are led into the album's heartbreaking last song.

THE LIGHT PART II

The sister song for THE LIGHT revisits the lyrical themes of the original from a different angle, one of regret and pure mourning other than shock, anger and fear. The production is purely fitting for this song as well, simplistic and yet heart wrenching. The vocal chops that echo through the track. As well as the reverb heavy guitar and subtle drums. It all layers together to form a bed of bliss which doesn't take away from the verses by Kevin and Joba. as well as a hook that reaffirms the worth of life, and holding on until better times. "The light is worth the wait." a cathartic hook that elevates the verses. Kevin take the first verse and continues to talk about his family and the regret he feels not being as close to those he should be. "The temperature rising, what type of man can find the right time to fly in. especially when my cousin dying.`` The also takes a look back on his home in Texas and how it affects his family that still live there. Finishing his verse off with a reference to seeing the light, in reference to seeing better times for both his family and his city. But again the true star is Joba who delivers possibly the most emotionally raw verse I have ever heard. His voice cracking at the darkest parts. I spent a lot of time whilst writing this review thinking about which lines to insert here that showed how heartbreaking of a verse it's,but I Couldn't settle on which ones. So just go listen to it. It is one of the darkest portraits of the hole that losing someone so close to you leaves. Even comparing it to the thought that his children will never know their grandfather. It's an impossible moment not to get you into rethinking your life, and appreciating what you have. It's made even more potent when you realize that it is the last album song the group will put out. Closing off one of the most interesting careers in modern hip hop. And closing off an album that is such an interesting and unforgettable ride. An album that shows off the best of the sounds that Brockhampton utilized over the years. It really is a singular album for the year from a singular group. Who even at their lowest moments were still cutting edge and purely entertaining. Anyone who thinks this album did not live up to expectation should reconsider. There is simply something for everyone here. And that is why it was my album of 2021.

[DISCUSSION] Sonder - Into (5 Years Later)

Posted: 08 Feb 2022 06:19 AM PST

Mesmerizing trio Sonder cut straight to the heart on their new EP, Into. Across seven tracks, vocalist Brent Faiyaz and producers Atu and Dpat gently collide over sugary earworms that speak to vulnerability and longing. Faiyaz sings with deliberate calculation, soulfully laying down lyrics packed with harmonious introspection. It's almost as if he's singing in a whisper on tracks that explore living a fast-paced life ("Too Fast") and the wistful emotions brought on by complex romances ("Care").
Over email, Faiyaz told The FADER: "Into is a reflection of shit that my ego won't allow me to speak on in everyday conversation. It's everything from relationships with women and family to living too fast."
