Maajins is an up-&-coming 15 year old producer & recording artist who since the pandemic has been turning heads by lacing singles for the likes of tana & Pasto Flocco to Autumn! & even Yeat. However since February of last year, he’s been branching out into a solo career & has already put out a total of 10 EPs in just that short amount it time. And only 3 months after his last one Retaliation Tapes & then !@ another 3 months before that, we’re already kicking off September by delivering an 11th EP.
“jesus piece” is a self-produce woozy trap kickstarter to the EP talking about always having to catch his ice before going out on stage every single night alongside a syrupy outro whereas “stop me” instrumentally reminds me a lot of a calming retro video game boasting the fact that he always be going off the way he does. “outlaw” has a spacey, trap/rock groove to it calling himself a fugitive without y’all that is until “malibu” moves forward by cooking up a psychedelic tribute to the titular city in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, “your fault” blends some synthesizers patterns & hi-hats telling his ex off that he has a new woman in his house with him now prior to “phase” confesses that he ain’t in the mood over a tropical beat. “x6” probably has the most peaceful instrumental on the EP flexing that he’s been on the move just before “hold tht” dabbles with some rage undertones thanks to Paulo making this the only track here Maajins wasn’t behind the boards for talking about needing more cash & that your girl is throwing it back for him. Those hypertrap elements come full effect on the closer “meds” featuring Bandanna$aint confessing that they high out of their minds.
I‘ve been familiar with his production work for a couple years now, but have yet to cover a solo EP from him out of nearly a dozen in the span of almost 2 years up to this point & I can say that teenage feelings could very well be my favorite one of the batch yet. His songwriting & deliveries are on point yet sonically, one could say it’s a lot more versatile than previous efforts from rage beats to some elements of plugg or even the rock influences on “outlaw”.
Score: 4/5
