Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tasked with following up his colossal, genre-defining debut, 'True to Self' sees the Louisville artist sticking heavily to his trademark, moody aesthetic. Released a month earlier than originally announced, the record utilizes heavily flipped vintage R&B samples and murky 808s to craft a long, sensual continuation of the 'trapsoul' sound.
