    Throughout Big Grams, Big Boi, Carter, and Barthel demonstrate their ability and willingness to take risks, even if some don’t work as well as others.

    Occasionally the songs jump and jitter without really settling into a groove, as in the uncertain "Put It on Her." But when the dynamic production of Skrillex closes out the project with the irresistible "Drum Machine," after a great appearance by Run the Jewels on the previous track, it's hard not to crave a full album from Big Grams.

    It isn't a flawless EP, but it works more often than it doesn't and is proof that there isn't that much difference between genres as we sometimes pretend there is.

    On Big Grams they hit a bit more of a stride.

    This EP has great production coming from Josh Carter, of Phantogram's, and Skrillex, in the finale track. Also the second member ofThis EP has great production coming from Josh Carter, of Phantogram's, and Skrillex, in the finale track. Also the second member of Phantogram's, Sarah Barthel came with great vocals and used many good metaphors in her choruses and short verses through out the EP. But most of her choruses were repeated and dragged until the end of many of the tracks. Big Boi did an average job overall. I thought he did a good job flowing on Josh Carters electronic style beats. But his lyrics were not up to par in my opinion. I just don't think theses guys were a good collaboration. Also most tracks failed to maintain a concept. Overall this is an average project. 5/10… Full Review »

    It seems like critics have a hard time when genres merge. Honestly, this has been one of my favorite albums to jam so far this fall. HeadIt seems like critics have a hard time when genres merge. Honestly, this has been one of my favorite albums to jam so far this fall. Head bobbing tunes front-to-back, crisp production, with a dope AF Skrillex chaser. Give it a spin!… Full Review »
