    Much like DeJ, this is an album that occupies its own space, music to get lost in your head to. It may rarely run and may struggle to fully break through for that very reason, but it does more than enough at its own, proud, steady pace.

    ‘Sell Sole II’ isn’t quite the breakout moment fans hoped for, but it is most definitely her strongest, most in-depth project to date.

    Sell Sole II finds DeJ Loaf in full capacity of her powers with an album that's consistent and controlled and doesn't relax for a second. While more songs default to her specific brand of pressurized beats and melodic hooks than brash, energetic anthems, DeJ's aloof confidence comes through even in the album's quietest moments.

    Occasionally it leaves you underwhelmed and yearning for more, but that still counts as a positive, because so many other rappers wind up doing more and leaving you wanting a whole lot less.

    Trying to extend my musical culture to the level of female rap too little represented for my taste, I gave DeJ Loaf a chance. I am gratefulTrying to extend my musical culture to the level of female rap too little represented for my taste, I gave DeJ Loaf a chance. I am grateful for the chance I had to avoid coming across one of those vulgar and aggressive albums that alone allow today's female rappers to make their voices heard.

    DeJ Loaf certainly doesn't have that haughty and unreal side that I hate in so many female rappers. However she doesn't reach either the necessary content to properly deliver this sixteen-track long album. Lyrics are all too often inconsistent, easy and effortlessly produced. Luckily the artist managed (interestingly I admit it) to vary her flow and rhymes. Fortunately she also managed to surround herself with these nine other male singers who bring what DeJ could not provide us in terms of quality and quantity. A female duet on one of the tracks would have been welcomed to accentuate the variations and diversity. The production in general deserves respect without being incredibly original.
    In conclusion, we encounter an album that seems to drag on and on and that makes us lose all hope of meeting a bit of originality and surprise and this from the 5th track of 'Sell Sole II'.
