"Better Things"Īnother record that I’ll have to revisit, it's intriguing, you kind of get sucked into the ambiance. Kind of a strange transition after "Wavybone," let's see how it moves into the next track. James Fauntleroy delivered, he always does. The first song that actually sounded like it had crossover appeal, seems like it's mostly about mood. Interesting, this one has grabbed my attention in a very subtle way. More listens and I might love this.or completely forget about it. The breakdown at the end is another random switch, back on the drugs. I must say, I don’t know what just happened. There are a dozen rappers in Atlanta that wish they could have such an infectious hook, I don’t know if this is for a hole in the wall rap concerts or Magic City. This song has a weird contrast, the verses are very hard, dirty, but the hook and production switch up to something perfect for the booty clubs. ScHoolboy QĮver since “Brand New Guys” ScHoolboy and Rocky haven’t had a single disappointing collaboration.

This is caffeine injected into your ear canal. I’m awake again. Also, it's one of the best examples of how his bold charisma over boisterous production is his winning element. If I remember correctly, this is the song that started A$AP’s resurgence. "JD" ends with a Lord Pretty Flacko Joyde reference, small example of the album sequencing I wrote about. We'll see what happens on the next track, on its own, there's just not much reason for "JD." 7. "JD"Īnother rap effort that is cool, strongly due to the production, seems like a small interlude that’s going to transition into something bigger. Great A Tribe Called Quest reference though. There are a few lines, but I’m leaning toward the skip button with "Excuse Me." Wish I had more to write about, but just not getting sparked by this. Woes as in emotional struggles, not as in Drake references. I’ll admit, he has a charisma that makes him entertaining. Back to the bars but A$AP hasn’t elevated the subject matter, he's still engulfed in women, weed, and woes.
