“Like a pre-costume superhero learning to control the lightning that pours from his hands, this electric display of youthful mic prowess from the 21-year-old Las Vegas rapper makes for arguably the genre’s best album this year.

“- nochmal gehört weil timse themse gestern 1 song davon angemacht hat und ich direkt angefixt war aber diesmal die auf spielfilmlänge gestreckte deluxe version - diese female voice auf scapegoats die in französischem akzent sagt "u talk about it so much. i wanna go in there. inside your mind" 😲 - u get money i do too lets fall in love <3 - woher kommt dieses like a thief in the night - motherfuck that album. fuck that single. burn that hard drive (burn that shit!) - i ask god why this life you gave so hard??? - einfach son he he als ad lib - every time i say sorry i do that shit again :( - dieses vier mal wiederholte immer leiser werdende "i am glad u came" auf life of pain zu wyld - etwas zu misogyn aber dafür kranke vocal delivery dr hakeeeem”
“First listen I thought this album was terrible, but this second time listening I really enjoyed it. Keems unique style works perfect on this album and the production really lets Keem showcase a lot of his uniqueness and different styles throughout the album. Top songs are ‘scapegoats’ ‘range brothers’ ft Kendrick Lamar ‘lost souls’ ‘family ties’ ft Kendrick Lamar ‘durag activity’ ft Travis Scott ‘16’”

“yk the album is good when the interludes are making you levitate”
“Great features and extremely consistent Nothing else to say.”
“great keem project and very strong for a debut”
