The first key thing is the emergence of Joe Fox, a very earthy protГ©gГ© of A$AP Rocky.

It sets the listener up with the tools they need for the journey theyвЂ™re about to take. The introduction is brilliant, one of the most important aspects of the album. And while comparing the record to other classics may help to tell a portion of the story, the project is truly its own entity. Amidst the interwoven sounds of multiple genres, you can feel a classic hip-hop vibe that reminds one of The Blueprint, ATLiens, even whispers of Aquemini. The album isnвЂ™t like anything specific вЂ“ a myriad of musical styles and accents combine together with the work of new musicians and household names. The tracks are decorated with mainstream royalty like Kanye West, Future, Lil Wayne and Schoolboy Q, yet also feature refreshing new sounds courtesy of some unfamiliar artists like the enigmatic Joe Fox. The album in itself is a giant melting pot, spilling over with vast and various talents. One can feel A$APвЂ™s story being told with the passing of each bar and yet, at the very same time, there is a beautiful opportunity for the listener to feel and create a story of their own. The album reads like a perfectly-fashioned Tarantino screenplay: unexpected, beautifully trippy, sexual, and raw. ItвЂ™s innovative and overflows with dynamic color. There are multiple levels to this creation of lyrics and beats. (At.$AP) вЂ“ a psychedelic banger filled with rich complexity and depth.
