    Despite showing moments of progression and growth throughout the EP, Ty Dolla $ign still has a long way to go in terms of constructing an album, which hopefully will be fine-tuned as he prepares for his major release later this year.

    This solid seven-song EP, his first official release, doesn't sail out too far from the formula of Ty's Beach House mixtapes.

In overall the apple didn't fell far from the tree as the lyrics are almost all about money, b*tches and drugz as always in this crazy side of music industry. It is an understatement to say that a lot of this sounds like decerebrated hip-hop.… Full Review »
