Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
2018 - For this 88rising showcase, Joji, Rich Brian, AUGUST 08, and the rest of the label all act like promising pop stars but are often overshadowed by the outside talent they bring along.

MusiCommentator
2018 - 88rising’s “Head In The Clouds” was not trying to be anything more than it was: a fun album filled with trap bangers and summer bops.
-
CLASH
2018 - A remarkable summer-fuelled pan-Asian compilation.
-
HIGHSNOBIETY
2018 - ‘Head in the Clouds’ Is a Maelstrom of Summer Love and Lust.

CRACK
If Head in the Clouds proves anything, it’s that 88rising are far from a novelty – they are here to stay.
-
RollingStone
2018 - The New York-based crew — which includes members from China, Japan Indonesia and South Korea — teams up with internet favs like 03 Greedo and Playboi Carti for a wide-ranging, up-to-the-minute sound.

The Musical Hype
2018 - there is plenty of scrumptious ear candy to be had on Head in the Clouds.
-
Esacpae Room Radio
2018 - Head in the Clouds is a slightly above average bubblegum/trap fusion that should be perfect for the sun, yet is plagued by strange structural choices and a lack of identity.

2018 - In Chinese, 88 means “double happiness.” This album makes you feel anything but.
-
The Daily Californian
2018 - is generic, harmless fun.
-

2018 - With an array of talented Asian acts across the board, 88rising has emerged as one of the strongest & hottest collectives in hip-hop.

Gin Fold
As you delve deeper into the album there is still a ‘chill-vibe’ but joined by a plethora of rap, hip-hop and R&B

THIRSTKEY
2018 - this album is gonna be interpreted entirely by what you’re trying to get out of it. So if you’re not after anything in particular and you just like peaceful, laid back music for your late summer nights, I’d recommend giving this a shot.
-
Docklands Light Musicway
2018 - Lacking in originality and a cohesive concept, Clouds is a step in the wrong direction for the wave-making 88rising crew.
-
hip hop heads
2018 - On the whole, the juvenile tone of the album is thorough and purposeful.
-
Cartharticism
2018 - Its nostalgic, lo-fi vibe succeeds putting forth a vibrant lineup of artists that each get a chance to showcase their individuality
