NOTHING HAPPENS
-
Complex
Proves He's an Artist to Be Reckoned With.

There are some rappers who can get away with sing-rapping but 21 is not one of them.

XXL
These small yet integral moments of vulnerability are what give 21 the opportunity to become a more well-rounded artist.

Surprisingly, 21 is also very lyrical on this album
-
Black and Gifted
Seems to be thrown together and some of these songs shouldn’t be added.
-
Pulse
There’s still some awesome music.

A barrage of miscellaneous bars that were better left in the vault.

It may be one of the first showings of what could be a truly impactful voice within the next generation of hip-hop.

A collection of songs that may capture where 21 Savage is in his life; amazing yet chaotic.
-
Culture Hash
No one listens to 21 Savage because of how good his bars are, but this feels especially lazy.
