Tyler, The Creator, Ace Creator, Wolf Haley, or any other names the 22yr old Odd Future leader may have is back with his sophomore effort titled "WOLF". PROS: Amazing Production, Unique Story Telling, Dope Story Concept *even had credits at end*ĬONS: Some songs felt too short, Lacked features *I believe that was on purpose though* This album is a step into the mind of Izzy Jone$, once you get past the afro of course, This album should definitely not be passed up it is a masterpiece that any HipHop lover will take it in as a breath of fresh air. The various topics Izzy discusses on this album stray away from the normal topics of drugs, sex and fast living you constantly hear from other rappers, but that's just it, you can put this album in the same category as you would from anyother MC's as Izzy even strays away from the ordinary HipHop/Rap on the track "Sun" and gives alternative rap/rock a try and succeeds.
album, each beat is a masterpiece and stands out from the next. Refusing to put out a spoiler I will not go into depth about what I've picked up from the story myself, but instead I will tell you to listen to the album all the way through without skipping a track, which is easy because this album is an amazing listen all the way through, mostly because of the amazing production, Squid features production from Moods, J.u.D, and even Izzy himself, The production is heavily sample based with smooth hazy synthesizers, amazing baselines, and even the feel of live drums on tracks like "Love Is Real" which is one of my favorites from the album, there is even a sample from Kendrick Lamar's Section 80. Unlike any other story album/concept album the story behind Squid has no direct narrator, the listener must piece together what is happening within themselves and kind of play the guessing game, this concept is amazing because it gives this album amazing replay value, and leaves the listener with something to think about and ponder upon. Izzy Jone$ - SQUID, Have been waiting for this project from the Atlanta based MC to release for weeks and just as promised at 12:08pm it was here.
