Yes, this is the 6th mixtape from Carson, California rapper Reason. After releasing his first 4 tapes, Top Dawg Entertainment signed him in the middle of 2018 by reissuing the one that landed him the contract in the first place: There You Have It. However, his official full-length debut album New Beginnings received more mixed reception when it came out the fall where COVID had the whole world shut down & Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith’s son Moosa subsequently got into a heated exchange of words with Reason the week Porches dropped saying former employee & pgLang co-founder Dave Free regrets even signing him in the first place. I Love You Again under his own label Do More Records reignited his passion & Everything in My Soul_Blue was alright, looking to top that with Moving Love Towards_Pink.

“La La Intro_PINK” rides over a drumless loop 2 about trying to swim for once after drowning in guilt for so long over a drumless loop whereas “Give It All 4 My Bitch_PINK” goes for a chipmunk soul vibe detailing that he’d give everything for his soulmate. “If This Ain’t Love_PINK” kinda feels unfinished since the let the instrumental ride out during the 2nd half of it despite it’s playful atmosphere & melodic delivery while “Humble ‘Em_PINK” looks to put someone in the dirt for cheating on his girl for a woman who doesn’t measure up.

We have Reason refusing to let any hoe throw him off his steeze on “Something ‘Bout Us_PINK” admitting that he feels like his life’s way too open leading into “Doin Too Much_PINK” featuring Isaiah Jaay blends R&B & pop rap telling their partners not to break a sweat. “I’ll Be There Idea_PINK” starts the 2nd half with another track that seems half baked leaving another open verse towards the backend of it just before the cloudy “Money Cash Hoes_PINK” talks about trying to fuck bitches & get money.

“Tired of Fuckin’ Deez Hoes_PINK” featuring Guapdad 4000 & Kembe X brings all 3 of them together making it clear that they’re fed up with all the bitches in their circle while “Tell Me_PINK” expresses hope for this person to come back & get him. “F.U.T.V_PINK” featuring Kalan.FrFr incorporates some cool sampling chops encouraging those they’re addressing to do their thing & after “Where Do We Start_PINK” talks about wanting to protect this woman, “Who TF You Blaming Outro_PINK” airs out a chick who tore his heart to pieces.

Now that we’re official halfway through this whole color series that Reason kicked off 5 months earlier, I already made it pretty clear that I enjoyed Everything in My Soul_Blue less then I Love You Again & unfortunately came away from Moving Love Towards_Pink enjoying it no less or better than it’s predecessor last fall. There is improvement within the production department & I appreciate the cohesiveness breaking down the 4 different stages of love, but the amount of guests is a bit excessive.

Score: 3/5
