Kevin Abstract released three more songs late last night in a collection that he calls Ghettobaby. Abstract announced last week that he was going to be releasing a series of three songs every Thursday for the rest of the month. He went on Twitter to explain that all the songs are apart of the same album and not just three separate EPs.
The new batch of songs, produced by Romil Hemnani and Jack Antonoff, signify a new era for the L.A. based rapper. Based off the three track sample alone, it is clear that Abstract has improved immensely from his first solo project. Collaborating with a super producer Jack Antonoff is a huge artistic leap for Abstract and indicates the broad range his music is capable of reaching. Abstract also clarified that this new solo venture will not get in the way of more Brockhampton music.
All three tracks, “Corpus Christi,” “Baby Boy,” and “Mississippi,” are extremely personal exposés from Abstract. “Corpus Christi” sounds more like an essay than a rap song and it’s bliss to the ears. The production is what wraps this all together, it’s typically a highlight of Abstract’s music in his Brockhampton ventures, but this stuff is in its own stratosphere. Two thumbs up for this fresh batch of music.
Abstract is slated to release more music next Thursday, so stay on watch for that new drop.
