DaBaby has released his new album, BLAME IT ON BABY, his latest album since the release of his previous project, KIRK, back in September of 2019.
DaBaby has gained a lot of traction in the past couple of years after the release of his hit songs like “Suge” and “Bop” among others. Since his previous album was well-received by a lot of DaBaby fans and other hip-hop fans alike, many were looking forward to seeing what DaBaby could provide next.
Saying that DaBaby created this album effortlessly is no compliment; the flaws on this album are as evident as possible.
BLAME IT ON BABY, for the majority of the album, lacks versatility when it needs it the most. DaBaby’s verses often have no flow switches or any changes that keep the listeners on the edge of their seats.
This album is infested with lackluster, even painful lines that should be easily forgotten, as they should have been left out before the album released. With the combination of underwhelming verses and the monotonous style of each song, this album is simply forgettable.
The one aspect of this album that could have somewhat redeemed it was the features, which included Quavo, Future, Roddy Ricch and YoungBoy Never Broke Again. However, to no surprise, the features gave nothing more than what DaBaby himself gave to the album. Every feature, with no exceptions, provided nothing new to the track they were on, making it sound even more fabricated and disappointing than before.
One thing that DaBaby should possibly receive credit for is his decision to try to create a different sound with songs like “SAD SH**” and “FIND MY WAY”. On these tracks, DaBaby decides to test out his more melodic side with his attempts to sing. While his efforts to try something different should be respected, these are two of the worst songs on the album.
Besides those two tracks, the only theme that is evident on this album is monotony. The flows sound the same, the beats sound the same, every song disappoints the same. DaBaby provides nothing new or even mildly impressive with his new album, making it one of the plainest and most unmemorable hip-hop albums of the past few years.
Rating: 0/5
