In conclusion, Limbo is a step forward for Aminé, and I hope he keeps up the growth presented here on future projects. On Fetus with Injury Reserve, Aminé talks about children, relationships, abortions and all the problems that come with them with assistance from Ritchie and an emotional posthumous Groggs verse which helps in tying the song together.įinally, the closer My Reality is a track filled with good vibes and a celebration of Aminés success so far, although the autotune in the middle is a bit grating. Becky is a thoughtful track about interracial relationships, and the kinds of problems that still exist in some communities. The next two songs both tackle social issues and are great in their own right. Mama is a nice heartfelt track that, despite being somewhat overdone by rappers, hits a bit with great vocals on the hook. This is somewhat alleviated by the last standout performance, Pressure In My Palms, sandwiched between these tracks, featuring great, if a bit short, performances by slowthai and Vince Staples, an unlikely pair who compliment the track surprisingly well. Shimmy, Riri and Easy just kind of go by without much impact on me, with Easy being especially annoying to me with the nothing-inducing hook, even with verses that are somewhat fine. Can't Decide feels a bit tired in comparison to the tracks before it, but it is followed by the second big standout, Compensating, which is a great performance by Aminé and an entertaining verse from Young Thug.Īfter this point, however, the album starts to blend together a bit, with some generic tracks, even though there are a handful of funny and witty lines. The Kobe interlude, albeit a bit forgettable, contributes to the feeling of maturity that's presented by the album. It keeps going with the standout Woodlawn and a stellar feature on Roots by JID, which also has Charlie Wilson contributing great background vocals. The album starts off very strong, with Burden, which serves as an introduction to this new version of Aminé, with an odd and interesting sample choice. The project feels both retrospective and forward facing at the same time, with songs covering a large variety of topics. He shows remarkable growth and awareness on this project compared to ONEPOINTFIVE and Good For You, and it makes the overall experience much more enjoyable. Limbo, to me, is Aminé's statement of maturity. My first review of any kind ever, so let's hope it's good.
