<\/p>\n

Rapper Amine has made quite a name for himself the last few years, even if the stage name would easily get confused with ‘Anime’ (he even knows it as well). He made a big splash with the single “Caroline”, becoming a commercial hit for him in 2016, and the following year he was named as a member of the XXL Freshman Class in 2017 with the release of his debut album,\u00a0Good For You<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Following that would be the mixtape OnePointFive<\/em> in 2018, and later on, he released a couple of singles following the announcement of his sophomore album\u00a0Limbo.\u00a0<\/em> Now my opinion of Amine is that while he’s a decent rapper, he’s not exactly one whose records I go back to, but at the same time he’s not horrible at what he does.\u00a0Good for You<\/em> is a decent pop rap record that does its job alright, but in a year full of better hip-hop records, it didn’t leave much of an impact. To be honest, on the singles he’s released prior to this new album… they were pretty middle of the road as well. “Riri” and “Compensating” are average at best, but I was interested in some of the features in this album like Vince Staples, Slowthai and Injury Reserve.<\/p>\n

So, is\u00a0Limbo<\/em> leap bending backwards over?<\/p>\n
