    One of the best hip-hop albums of the year for me! She definitely took in all the criticism from the last one and came together with a fresh production to make something more personal. I like it when we get an insight into the artist I'm listening to and Traumazine is definitely that! Congrats Meg.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From suffering to rebirth. Inspired by the endorsement of Jay-Z's Roc Nation and Beyoncé's "Renaissance," the young Houston rapper knows how to rise from her own ashes. she is tough, stern, and angry at a recording industry that wants to exploit her for money. But she won't stand for it. In songs, written as if it were a very personal narrative, she makes it clear that after the death of her parents and a stifling record contract, Thee Stallion is reborn and brings her essence to the world. An album to be enjoyed, even if you don't like hip-hop. Expand

    I normally don't listen to artists like Megan Thee Stallion (it was never my type of music growing up), but after hearing songs like WAP and Sweetest Pie, I decided to give the album a listen.

Some reviews say that the album feels similar to her previous work, which I am not sure is true because I have not listened to her prior bodies of work. The album feels fresh and new to me, so it gets a high score from me. I will say I was not a fan of the singles the first time I heard them, and listening to the album it doesn't feel representative of the sound Traumazine has.

    I love Megan's personality but I must admit the name and way she described the album made me doubt her. But, after listening she made a fool out of me and I am not mad about it. The album is unexpected in the best way. Megan was able to combine substance without losing replay value. If you are a fan of rap you will enjoy this project a lot. It one of the best albums of 2022 so far.

    Strength lies in simplicity. Pretty complete, acceptable amount of collabs, isn't too short, isn't too pop, isn't too traumatized, about what I was scared for. 9/10 because of „Sweetest pie”, it shouldn't be on this album.

    Traumazine is a all around 10/10. When listening we get an insight inside of Megan's mind and all of the things she has gone through. Her delivery is very good and nothing sounds the same and the dip into different genres is lovely.

    Megan herself does not lag behind, changing the movement of music from the synth "NDA" to the club "Her" and the rnb sound "Not Nice", while the reading is excellent as always, and the softening in the tracks is much cleaner than in the debut album.
    In the end, "Traumazine" may have become the more pop side of Thee Stallion, but it gave her more opportunities to reach her potential and a vibe that is more noticeable than on the rap artist's debut record, and the release accompanying problems with the label on which she is gives album, the confrontation that Megan Thee Stallion herself personifies.

Heavy and agressive beats as her flow that did not change at all, but at least it did not keep boring. Maybe this it will be the first Megan's album wich will potencially grow on me.

    Traumazine doesn't do anything new but it does do it better. She's focused and taking no prisoners . The album doesn't focus as much on her trauma than what good news had done already. It feels more mature than her other records but i don't see it making an impact like her big label debut only because of how rushed and confused the release was.

    In a genre that I usually find myself straying from, Megan manages to create a body of work with Traumazine that is not only full of substance, but that is sonically excellent to listen to.
