    While Brian isn't a bad rapper (arguably quite a decent one), his flow isn't overly impressive and his tone is not enjoyable to me. The beats are not awful, but they really do not mesh well with his style in my opinion. The tape is all-round mundane to me, but even still it is better than I expected, and allows the listener to take Rich Brian a little more seriously as a rapper rather thanWhile Brian isn't a bad rapper (arguably quite a decent one), his flow isn't overly impressive and his tone is not enjoyable to me.

Still not that great though.… Expand

    Rich Brian's new album 'Amen' is almost a cohesive rap release. Despite having one of the most successful singles of 2016 with 'Dat $tick', all of the factors which put him in the spotlight are absent here, from the smooth flows to the laid-back style.

    Office spoiler is a really bad deed! It is a shame that Rich stoped to do music

    There is by no means dazzling wordplay, vivid storytelling or smash hits to be indulged through Amen but there are some strong beats courtesy of the man himself.

    There is very little happening within his verses right now, and even as he’s pivoted toward the personal, he’s still doing impressions, sonically and stylistically.

    Rich Brian didn’t need to go so hard with the image change, but as far as debut albums go, Amen is catchy, it’s not gimmicky, it’s not annoying, and there’s just enough Chigga still in there to keep things entertaining.
