730atMorning – “1 Man Band” review

Minneapolis, Minnesota rapper 730atMorning preluding Context with his 2nd mixtape. Someone who would drop 3 extended plays in 2022 including Pots*, untitled & Hi, I’m Alive. He would later follow it up with the Creeper EP, the 7:30* EP, the full-length debut Asphalt, the Guarded EP, the sophomore effort albeit Virgin Music debut Under the Bridge, the Rotten Fruit EP, his previous full-length Save Your Grievance, the almost inside EP & the Insiders tape. Last we heard from him was the I Can’t STFU EP last Halloween & 1 Man Band’s offering a preview of the new era over a month after Tiffany Stratton ended ジュリア’s record-tying 2nd reign as WWE Women’s United States Champion.

After the compositional “Withered” intro, the opener “Graye” featuring Lerado Khalil begins with them talking about the fuck shaping them to the people they are presently whereas “Clouds n Rain” channels a pluggier vibe instrumentally pleading not to tempt him. “40MGs” produced by LulRose might be my favorite track here talks about trying to get back with a woman who kept putting up a fight while “My Favorite Part” splits itself into halves detailing a woman who doesn’t miss him back.

“Sequence of Events” embraces a cloudier sound altogether talking about being in charge & making the rules since he doesn’t have any corny bullshit in his life but after “God Still Take Me” talks about paying for all his sins as well as him praying for the Higher Power to take him to the afterlife, “Lost the Plot” incorporates some icy synths to talk about finding love in Los Angeles with his homies & being here today because of his hard headedness.

The track “Interesting Character” nears further towards the conclusion of 1 Man Band explaining that he doesn’t need shit from this individual since they told him to die & him reasonably taking that to heart while the final song “Body” preceding the “Repulsive” outro expresses the desire he has of giving this individual what they need even if they gotta go how he wants them to & not keeping up with his own flexes.

1 Man Band warms us up for Context with the most densest entry in 730atMorning’s entire discography & gives me confidence of this next project coming down the pipe maintaining this momentous run he’s been on since last fall. The tape’s trap production takes its secondary influences more from cloud rap, plugg, witch house & wave rather than capitalizing on I Can’t STFU’s rage, free car music, jerk & new jazz undertones & I found the inclusion of guests to be a refreshing move compared to the predecessor’s lack of features.

Score: 4/5

730atMorning – “I Can’t STFU” review

This is the 9th extended play from Minneapolis, Minnesota rapper 730atMorning. Someone who would drop 3 EPs in 2022 including Pots*untitled & Hi, I’m Alive. He would later follow it up with the Creeper EP, the 7:30* EP, the full-length debut Asphalt, the Guarded EP, the sophomore effort albeit Virgin Music debut Under the Bridge, the Rotten Fruit EP, his previous full-length Save Your Grievance & the almost inside EP. Coming off the Insiders tape however, he’s celebrating Halloween by admitting I Can’t STFU.

“Lessthan Lessthan” begins with a new jazz intro talking about his ego disintegrating whenever he looks at himself in the mirror whereas “Coastal” leans towards a heavy free car vibe instrumentally talking about being with a Mobile, Alabama woman. “Parasite” comes to the realization of him needing to start keeping his word more & after “Eek” talks about chasing money by refusing to sleep, “Dream” ends the 1st half experimenting with trap metal a bit.

As for “Roll”, we have 730 over a more synth-driven beat comparing his opps to DoodleBob & being booted up while “Check Touched” comes through with a 2-parter talking about being paid what was due. “Blank Face” was an exciting single realizing some things making more sense to him after mapping it out but once “U Don’t Love Like Me” splits itself into 2 separate sections speaking to a hot commodity, “Roket” ends the EP assuring that y’all don’t need to pray for his pockets.

Noticeably less cloudier & experimental than Insiders over the summer, 730atMorning still retains a prominent trap sound secondarily exploring the styles of rage, free car music, jerk & new jazz to result in what I’d say is debatably his 2nd greatest EP yet although it’s not better then either Insiders or Save Your Grievance for his finest 2025 opus. Nevertheless, I firmly believe the possibility of 1 Man Band & Context making bigger waves for him the following year continue to grow more likely.

Score: 3.5/5
