Whoever said that Joey Badass' album was contender for album of the year just got quiet.
I'm loving the jazz feel to the samples. I suspect working with Flying Lotus has had a massive influence on that. However the track 'u' is just out there. I've no idea who it's aimed at, but man, it hits pretty hard. I do wonder if there'll be much replay worth with the song though.
I think the worst thing anyone can do is go in thinking this is going to be a party album. He's past that. King Kunta is the closest you'll get to a 'party track' I guess, but otherwise the feel is pretty dark.
All in all I'm loving it.
Your move, Kanye...
