    This reminds me when M.I.A. released Kala; the album is so fierce, fine, politically charged and way next level. I love the concept of the album, what a remarkable masterpiece. 10/10.

    Cashmere is an undeniably complicated but fun album that reckons with South Asian representation in the global pop culture of 2016. It’s totally necessary, but we’re lucky that it’s as enjoyable as it is. If there is any flaw to the album, it’s that it feels like the first step to something else.

    At times the clash of rhyme and sonic styles is too full or disjointed, sounding like the Boys are still finding their stride and working out how to cram everything in. Plenty here though to be blasted throughout Suburbia.

    Impressively condensed to under an hour, Cashmere’s thrilling tale of two MCs stands as a worthy achievement indeed. Musically, it holds up in the same way actual cashmere holds heat: better than most.
