Amine's sophomore project, Limbo, is a beautiful mixture of fun summer hits and introspective emotivity. At its core, Limbo is a searching album that often poses more questions than it answers, but Aminé makes the journey itself its own kind of pleasure. Since his debut album, Good For You, he appeared on the Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse soundtrack and released a 2018 mixtape, ONEPOINTFIVE. With his dedicated fans and hip hop heads watching his every move, will Aminé be able to create a phenomenal body of work Aminé shows that he is a jack of all trades on the record. This is some shit you go and pick your homie up from jail with, Aminé announces to open Limbo, his second studio album. He uses his voice as well as his production choices to build in contrast-nothing is ever too serious or flippant-and it makes for an intriguing listen that constantly pulls at the ear. He has just released his brand new album Limbo, which has gotten many fans excited due to singles like Compensating with Young Thug. One of Aminé‘s greatest strengths is his versatility he can effortlessly switch up his flows or a song's mood, going from a frenzied cadence to honeyed singing in a flash. Album closer “My Reality” pauses to breathe in all that life has brought to the rapper and exhales as a resounding thank-you. Elsewhere, he offers a show of maternal gratitude on “Mama” (“You're the only woman in my life who makes me smile,” he croons in falsetto), and conversely, “Fetus” wrestles with the prospect of parenthood and all that comes with it. The silken “Easy” is a duet with Summer Walker about making it work even and especially when times are difficult. The Oregon native chats about going through a quarter-life crisis, his. “Can't Decide” captures the indecision of situationships and those in-between states of maybe friends, maybe more, while “Riri” is a wounded survey of lost loves that manages to not sound wounded at all (and brims with pop culture references to boot). Amin navigates complex worlds on his new album ‘Limbo’ By Jerad Walker (OPB) Portland, Ore. Of course romance is the primary recurring theme, because what is the heart if not life's greatest limbo. It effectively captures the state suggested by its title, the messy, complicated, and triumphant glory of a quarter-life crisis. In contrast, Limbo the title of Aminé’s second official studio album is a refreshing throwback to the days when artists still cared about a vision more than streams and Billboard. What follows reflects a wide-ranging version of the Portland rapper-at once introspective and lighthearted, weighty confessionals alongside freewheeling levity. “This is some s**t you go and pick your homie up from jail with,” Aminé announces to open Limbo, his second studio album.
