The album as a whole (or mixtape/EP/whatever) plays with distortion, altered-pitch vocals, chaotic raps, dance beats, and lots of nonchalant cultural references. It’s a perfectly upbeat visual for a song that hears him rap “People be so phony, that’s why I be on my lonely.”
In the almost cartoonish music video we see Aminé hanging out with a giant Clifford-sized doodle at a cabin in the woods, working out with his bae, smoking weed, chopping vegetables (next to, you guessed it, bananas), pruning flowers, and shuffling through his vinyl collection. The hyper-pop-tinged lead single, “Charmader,” is a pleasant earworm that provides a preview for what to expect on the full 12-track project. Check out “Compensating” below.His latest effort, TWOPOINTFIVE, the sequel to 2018’s ONEPOINTFIVE, is overwhelmingly produced by Lido and longtime collaborator Pasqué, and maintains Aminé’s tendency to make bright, colorful music. Aminé matches up against himself, showcasing impossible tennis tricks and his own goofy sense of humor. It shows Aminé as a modern king, ruling over a very posh kind of court - a tennis court, in fact. The video was directed by Adam Daniel and Jack Begert. The way he quacks out “Daffy Duck” recalls his most memorable, off-the-wall lyrics, like his star-making promise to “ride in that pussy like a stroller.” He says that if you, “Text, I reply, baby, ’til my phone die,” but adds, “You know he lied if a n- said he don’t lie.” Young Thug arrives with velocity, swerving onto the beat like he’s drift-braking a Lamborghini. “Compensating” finds Aminé in an apologetic mood, trying to remove the foot from his mouth while keeping his tongue-in-cheek. “Shimmy” was a windows-down banger that reveled in hip-hop history, while second single “Riri” showed off his romantic side.
Limbo is his sophomore album, and the follow-up to the 2018 EP/mixtape/what-have-you ONEPOINTFIVE.įrom what we’ve heard so far, Aminé is using Limbo to explore his whole range. Sometimes he recalled the punchlines-and-parties ethos of Big Sean, but occasionally he touched the madcap exuberance of an Andre 3000. He spent the subsequent years trying to carve out space between creative expression and commercialism.
Now he’s back with another bop, linking up with Young Thug and releasing a music video for the slapping single “Compensating”.Īminé first burst onto the scene with his 2017 debut album Good for You, spurred on by the funkiness of “Caroline”. In just a few days, Portland, Oregon rapper Aminé will release Limbo, one of the most-anticipated hip-hop albums of the summer.
