Well we're finally finished with January the ****ing twenty-seventh, and this takes us two more albums closer to the end of the first month. Oddly and rather a nice surprise for me, it's only nine tracks and none of them are long, so almost another EP. And it opens on an acoustic guitar? Eh, hold on there a second bub! What's going on here? Singing? Not rapping? Okay there's the rap but damn it's cool. I like this. This slow, dramatic rap – Trap, yeah? - this might actually be appealing to me. But **** Travis Scott still. “Word Around Town” is great and to be honest it looks like everything here is. Even the reggae infused “I'm Not Waitin' On the Summer” is cool. “Last Time I Checked” is also great. As is this album. Another surprise.
