Nov 13, 2015Free TC could use some editing, but Ty has enough charm to carry bedroom jams, Cadillac bangers, and folk-funk experiments all at once.
-
Nov 19, 2015So, all in all, Ty delivers a light, layered debut, with more depth than we thought could be drawn out of the trap&B sound he helped usher into the mainstream.
-
Nov 17, 2015Numerous proven mixtapes help set Ty up for an easier introduction than most, but Free TC tops all expectations, as the man conquers the club, the bedroom, and the brain with this end-to-end stunner.
-
Nov 13, 2015Free TC--often exceptional, and easily one of the best R&B albums of this year--is elaborate in conception and execution but still feels off the cuff.
-
Nov 16, 2015His confidence is why he flies when he swings for the fences on his new album, Free TC.
-
Dec 21, 2015The recorded calls between Ty and his brother that crop up repeatedly develop their characters while the story, for T.C. at least, remains stagnant. Free T.C. places an emphasis on the intimate, human relationship between these two men.
-
Nov 23, 2015With this album, Ty has proven that he’s not just another hook and single singer. He’s actually capable of creating a project that keeps listeners engaged for 16 tracks.
-
Nov 19, 2015For all of Free TC’s turn-up nut-grabbing, it’s the beating heart that ends up stealing the show.
-
Dec 7, 2015Free TC, dedicated to Dolla $ign's currently incarcerated brother, marries a diverse range of earworm-level hooks and genre-bridging rhythms to uncomfortably base themes.
-
Dec 1, 2015Though a bit of a slog at points, what could have easily been a 16-track collection of Griffin's ambition becoming his downfall, is a worthwhile look at the multifaceted nature of his musical brain. It's worth sticking around for.
-
Nov 17, 2015The album is a dense, cinematic, always surprising and often moving album that sounds like it required the full three years that the L.A. crooner and producer spent chipping away at it to get right.
-
Nov 13, 2015This is not the moment where he will become a superstar, but it’s a promising beginning to what should be a very long career.
-
Nov 13, 2015Ty Dolla $ign's most diverse and eminent offering to date.
-
The SourceMar 9, 2016Free TC moves way less outside contribution than expected. [Dec/Jan 2016, p.90]
-
Nov 17, 2015Despite looking to set the world on fire with Free TC, his debut, Dolla $ign spreads himself too thin and mostly stumbles over his own lofty ambitions.
-
Nov 13, 2015[The] cameo-packed tracks fail to live up to the billing, often feeling too long and lacking the punch of Dolla $ign’s previous output.
