Having multiple guest stars on the track could lead to Amine being overshadowed, but he sets the tone for the song right from the jump. There’s a growing self-awareness on songs like “Pressure In My Palms” featuring slowthai and Vince Staples. He makes it clear on the track that he’s wearing his emotions on the outside, taking a relationship that went South badly, and everything he’s doing (including lashing out at times) is to try to recoup his ego and make the bruises go away - even if it might only be cosmetic.Īnd you know that I’m never too proud to begĪnd you know I’ma always wish you the best (lil bitch)īut you know I’ma always wish you the best”Īt first I interpreted Amine’s shallow and often misogynistic raps as a lack of depth on his part, but “ looking like wealth” as he says on “Shimmy” can now be viewed as “Compensation” for all the things eating away at him. I vowed to “keep listening until I get it” and with songs like the T-Minus produced “Compensating” featuring Young Thug, I think I do now. The record will feature the rapper’s recent tracks ‘Shimmy’ and ‘RiRi’, and follows his 2018 album. The times have certainly changed, but props for the Ol’ Dirty sample. Alongside his new single, Aminé also shared details of the forthcoming album, ‘Limbo’. At the start he seems to be all alone at a football field out in Portland (where he’s from) but soon enough he’s shoulder to shoulder with four brothers in the back of a pickup, and soon enough he’s packed in even closer with dozens of dudes on delivery bikes. In fact the first single “Shimmy” came out February 26th, and if you watch the video it’s not hard to tell given there are a lot of people in the clip - no social distancing, no masks. Obviously the song was recorded before his 26th birthday, and a lot of the material on “ Limbo” probably was given the recurring R.I.P. The last time I went to church was in the fuckin eighties Maybe I’m the one who really need the Lord to save me The record will feature the rapper’s recent tracks ‘Shimmy’ and ‘RiRi’, and follows his. We 25, I told that nigga, boy you fuckin crazy Alongside his new single, Amin also shared details of the forthcoming album, ‘Limbo’. That was way before my nigga Yost had the wave capĪnd to top it off my best friend had a baby ‘Mark my words’ – my nigga Mark used to say that Keep my fuckin foot on they necks and never let up My lyrical expectations for Amine were so low going into his second album that hearing him be thoughtful and introspective over a Kanye West style track was to say the LEAST unexpected. Some might say he’s borrowing from Pusha T stylistically, but given where he was coming from on the last album that’s a good rapper for him to emulate. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.The Mac Wetha produced “Burden” was a pleasant surprise. Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Aminé’s 2017 breakout with “Caroline” took advantage of the power of streaming to launch him to stardom, securing his spot on the 2017 XXL Freshman list and helping him leverage that attention into a flourishing career that included further hits “ Spice Girl,” “ Reel It In,” and “ Blackjack.” He’s primed for superstardom and Limbo just might be the vehicle to take him the rest of the way there. Limbo is being billed as Aminé’s second official album after his sparkling debut, Good For You, with the 2018 project OnePointFive receiving the fanciful classification of “EpLpMixtapeAlbum” - Aminé’s tongue-in-cheek way of poking fun at the nonlinear (and arbitrary) distinctions placed on music in the era of instant streaming and surprise releases.
