Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Harlem rapper's sophomore album represents a glossier, highly eclectic departure from the grimy trap origins of his debut. Boasting an enormous, star-studded guest list including Missy Elliott, Skrillex, and Future, the record experiments heavily with EDM crossovers, pop-rap hooks, and upbeat house rhythms. While commercially ambitious, the sprawling stylistic variations led to a divided critical reception.
