Desiigner – “L.o.D. (Life of Desiigner)” review

DcSzNS1W4AEmPSO.jpg

Ever since appearing on the 2016 XXL Freshman Class & rushing his New English mixtape shortly after, New York rapper Desiigner has been laying low ever since. However, it was announced out of the blue Thursday night that he had returned with with his 1st EP.

The EP starts off with “Priice Tag”, where he gets braggadocious over a video gamey trap beat from Ronny J. The next song “Tonka” has an instrumental with an eerie atmosphere to it, but the songwriting is lazy. Especially during the hook & the 2nd verse. The track “After Party” is a generic club banger while the song “Pop iiT” is pretty much a poor man’s “Mask Off” albeit with a spacey beat. The song “Destiination” sounds like a leftover from Future’s last album HNDRXX while the track “LA to New York” does sound charismatic & fun, the songwriting is yet again lazy. The EP finally finishes with “HOOD”, where he talks about seeing another day over a moody beat

This is definitely better than New English, but it’s still pretty bad. Not only did it take way too long to come out but even 2 years after he blew up, the production is generic trap & Desiigner himself still sounds like a poor man’s Future

Score: 1/5

Desiigner – “New English” review

Fresh off the hit single Panda, 2016 XXL Freshman Desiigner hits us with his first full project & it honestly could very well be the worst release I’ve listened to this year. Not just because of the beats & lyrics, but the vocals are just hilariously excruciating. However they do surprise me on Make It Out a little bit because he kinda reminds me of Tyler, The Creator (who I personally am a big fan of). On the track Overnight (which is probably the best track off the whole tape), he talks about how he wants God to help him & how hard he works. I can totally appreciate that. On the track Jet, he & Pusha T get braggadocious & Pusha’s verse on here is ok but Desiigner ruins the track really quickly. I still think Panda’s ok & I’m actually glad he put into this mixtape but other than that, I don’t really think there’s anything else interesting to point out about this thing. All I’m getting here is just a rushed, generic version of DS2 (which I felt was the most overrated album of last year)

Score: 1/5
