    Everything’s for Sale will find an audience. Its gilded despair only leaves a greater impression with each listen. If there’s an album for the sad Instagrammer, posing in a beam of perfect light, copyrighted smile, only to heave a sigh, this is it.

    The full-length fully introduces the world into a troubled young man with a brilliant mind whose musings are starkly engaging.

    It’s something like Noname if she had a backstory closer to The Game. And just when it almost veers too close into Soulquarian-lite territory, Boogie drops “Self Destruction”, a vocally agile self-examination that reminds you why his contract was picked up by Eminem. [Mar 2019, p.65]

    Despite a couple of duds, the gloomy groove of the album is musically vivid and lyrically vulnerable. Taking cues from some of his era of rap's most boundary-pushing figures, Boogie's debut sets the scene for even greater things to come.

    Bravely, Boogie has given us something true, something we can feel. Even if it hurts.

    Aside from the compelling lyricism, Everything's For Sale also stands out because of its immersive melodies.

    It exists in a cloud of gloom that consumes the album. And yet, there’s something endearing about Boogie’s honesty, his commitment to the established mood, and his charming vocals to go along with his rap abilities.

    Great debut album. Striking art cover. Colourful wordplay and lyrics. Intense themes addressed.
    Westside Boogie gives us access to his fragile and intimate universe paced by breathtaking melodies. The tracks merge into each other (excepted at the end, from 'No Warning' to 'Self Destruction' which feels a bit strange). Jazzy touches purely compliments the whole record. In addition to that, the beat switches are notable bubbles of fresh air in some tracks (as on 'Soho').
    Featured artists are amazing. JID & Christian Scott especially did an amazing job as Eminem kind of does what we are used to hear from him. Very disappointing (and I'm not even talking about his first entry on the song). It is a shame that Snoh Aalegra only deserves the outro of the last track, she has a huge underused potential in here. In general it would have been more interesting if Boogie focused a bit more on some tracks as Live 95 almost feels like a snippet rather than a whole song.
    Songs as 'Silent Ride' and 'Whose Fault' are the two hidden gems in 'Everythings For Sale' in my opinion. They both gain depth the more I listen to them again and again, whereas tracks like "Skydive" could have benefited from less singing (at least from Boogie).
    Very moody and in overall chill and easy to listen to. But should have deserved more work.
