To celebrate the original release, Aminé also dropped a collaborative capsule with VERDY that included T-shirts, long sleeves, and accessories that highlight Aminé’s Club Banana and VERDY’s dynamic character design. I think about what is this album going to mean in two, three years, you know what I mean?” “Now that I’m 26, I think so much more about legacy than I do the moment. “I have an opportunity to really establish myself, and that’s kind of why I took so much time on it,” he said in a previous interview. ![]() The Portland-born rapper dropped Limbo in August 2020 and is his first full-length in three years. ![]() A handful of new guest features also appear, namely Valee on “Zack & Cody,” Saba on “Talk,” Toosii on “Chicken” and psychedelic rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra on “Buzzin.” 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.The latest edition features a total of 21 songs with seven additional tracks. 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 times have certainly changed, but props for the Ol’ Dirty sample. 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 We 25, I told that nigga, boy you fuckin crazy 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. The Mac Wetha produced “Burden” was a pleasant surprise. ![]()
