I had only become familiar with KAMI, the Chance the Rapper affiliated Chicago rapper, about a year ago and while I didn’t hear all that much of his music, everything I did, I liked – a lot. It was wildly different than what was being pushed in hip-hop and he showed a strong grasp on the artistry of creating music. I don’t know if Very Slight is just a one off, but he takes things in a far more familiar sounding direction this time, with the songs being comparable to a lot of this current ‘SoundCloud’ wave. It was a bit disappointing as I really liked what he was doing before but the new direction will likely get him more mainstream ears and while it’s more in line with the current popular sound, he does do it better than your average ‘SoundCloud’ rapper. I found myself bopping along with the songs more than once and he still shows that ‘it’ factor that could make him a real major player in music. Here’s to hoping this isn’t all we’ll be getting from him in the future though.

Bas - Milky Way | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
He seems content only playing to his core audience (and I'm one of them), but for a project that was widely touted as going to be his 'coming out party', things were played a bit too safe for my liking. It's another solid Bas project that won't do much to change people's opinions one way or another.

Trippie Redd - LIFE'S A TRIP | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
I'll give Trippie Redd credit for crafting some genuinely compelling stuff on 'LIFE'S A TRIP' that shows there's more to him than meets the eye. That soundcloud sound still isn't my forte but LIFE'S A TRIP is one of the better offering out of this wave.

Travis Scott - ASTROWORLD | Reactions | LIVING LIFE FEARLESS
Travis Scott finally put together all of the pieces of his immense talent and crafted his most realized project yet. 'ASTROWORLD' is a complete experience from front to back that transports you to a world all of Scott's own making, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

Assorted my new diamonds, they shinin’, that’s what I did (I swear I did)
Put some Flintstones, lookin’ like I take care of my kids (my kids)
They’re very slight, they’re very bright, yes, it’s lit
When they ask me, “How much does it really cost?” A bit

– “A Bit”

Have you heard Very Slight? What’d you think about it? Do you prefer this sound or the old sound of KAMI? Let me know in the comments below and be sure to leave your own ratings and reactions for the project.

Conclusion
I was a bit disappointed with KAMI's new sound as I really liked what he was doing before but the new direction will likely get him more mainstream ears and I still found myself bopping along on more than a few occasions.
Fuego!!!
