Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho

Probably one of the oddest looking album covers that I have seen in quite awhile. I actually really like it though, and it is actually made by the famous artist Ralph Steadman; so there is that. This was one of the most hyped projects of the year and I have to say it delivered for me personally. From what I can tell from browsing HipHopHeads and talking with friends, a lot of people weren't too ecstatic with it, but I've been bumping it since it dropped. Let's get to some of the tracks to check.

Modern Slavery

Awesome way to start the album with Otis singing for the first twenty or so seconds. I think one of the main appeals for this song to me was Quavo on the chorus. "All these damn chains modern slavery, but this ain't 1800 so they pay me" and right after you just hear a CASH ad lib. Quavo got me saying CASH each time with him its so catchy. Much like the rest of the album, Quavo and Travis Scott trade bars back and forth on this song. You can also bet that if one of them is rapping the other is throwing adlibs out in the back the whole time.

Eye 2 Eye

I think I'm just a big fan of this one sich we get to bring in the most underrated Migos member to the mix; Takeoff. To be honest the verses on this one are pretty lackluster on this one and leave a bit to be desired. The real part that I loved here was the chorus again, and the ease at which each of them switches bars again. Its just verse after verse after verse with the chorus popping up every now and then. The sharing of the chorus is pretty nice too.

Saint

I think writing about this album is making me not like it as much as I'm going lol...well a big complaint is that not a lot of the songs standout and as I got to my 3rd favorite song on the tape I don't have much to say again besides the chorus is nice. Even at that I just love the "Yeah momma built a saint" line to start it.

Basically goes to show you sometimes with albums, especially in the modern era, don't need to be pretty unique for people to like them. Well at least some people like me lol. I still would recommend checking out this project if you are in anyway a fan of Travis Scott and/or Quavo. Its not their best work, but still a cool part of their discography.

Let me know if there are any rap albums you would like me to go over in particular! There is a good chance I've heard it already too and can write about it :).
