new Boldy's great too, probably his best since Bo Jackson if not earlier. really loved "Frozen"

 

Just getting around to this new Boldy, on my second pass and it honestly might be my favorite of his. Really impressed, having a great time

 

Yachty album that’s dropping tonight is a solid AOTY contender for me, not hip hop really but still makes sense to post here. I wasn’t the biggest fan of his before this but this is a huge step forward and has some IGOR vibes

 

I've straight up disliked all the Yachty I've heard but Igor vibes?? you have my attention

 

Its more the feeling it gives idk how to describe it, instrumentally it’s kind of like Tame Impala/all live instruments and vocally he’s doing it justice imo, his singing improved, there’s a lot of soul in the songs and everything is very cohesive and flows very smooth, excited to see what people think! I’ve had the leak for a month but the official version is much better mix wise and has a few changes

 

Any key tracks to check out? I'm also very unsure about him haha

 

this sounds dope as hell, gonna peep for sure

 

My favorites: The Ride, drive me crazy (only one he raps on really but the first half is more soulful/singing so it’s a nice mixup), then the 3 track run from say something to Should I B is very good imo, I feel like if none of those are working you wont like the rest but if you enjoy the vibe of those there’s a high chance you’ll enjoy the whole album

 

Alright I'll check those out at least!!!

 

It’s Yachty doing Tame Impala and it is pretty sick

 

Yeah I'm hearing some crazy buzz about this Yachty album. I've actually always secretly really enjoyed most of his music but I'm really excited to check this one out

 

Alex G, Nick Hakim, and Mac Demarco with production and writing credits.

 

I tried really hard with Yachty probably 6-7 years ago, he’s fun but the music never really stuck. Those credits all have me very interested tho

 

It’s not a hip hop album, it is nothing close to anything he’s done previously. Never cared for his music minus two or three songs… this though is pretty good. Highly recommend listening on some good headphones or speakers too.

 

Yeah I never went out of my way to listen to any of his previous stuff but I’ve had this on repeat

 

this Yachty is some wild stuff lmao. production is genuinely beautiful, his lyrics and vocals are... an acquired taste, but either the album is getting better as it goes or I'm just getting accustomed to them lol. either way, "WE SAW THE SUN" is lovely, first song that's really really grabbed me

love to hear this kind of ambitious swing either way. parts of it remind me of early Cudi

 

Woah

 

Yeah this is cool so far but I was parsing through the credits and Torey Lanez has a writing credit :/

 

Did not expect an album like this from Yachty. Good for him for leveling up like this

 

Yachty album is fun

 

Had no idea Yachty was dropping this soon. If I recall, the rumors/hype last year was that he was dropping a "rock album" as his next record. Cool on him for keeping things fun and different.

Also, this sounds great (and loud) through nice speakers.

 

I don’t think I would call this a rock album. I guess you could, but it’s also kind of neo soul-ish, the Roots/Soulquarians-expanded-universe-ish

 

Yeah, Yachty sucks....so this is quite surprising to hear. Like, honestly, it's been quite some time since I've seen this type of level up from an artist.

 

Like Cody Chestnutt is not a rock artist in my mind, this sound like something Cody Chestnutt could make if he were trying to become more accessible lol

 

Yachty is, and has been, probably the best pop song writer of anyone in his “class”
