    Slime Season 3 is as celebratory, emotionally rich, and life-affirming as a good funeral should be but never is. And this isn’t the end; it’s only the beginning of a brand new chapter.

    His delivery is somehow still getting better, and Slime Season 3 succeeds as an exercise in discovering just how elastic syllables are.

    Every song justifies its spot: the Allen Ritter-produced "Drippin'" serves as a standout, exhibiting a staccato delivery and manic yelling, both of which are new to his already vast sonic vocabulary.

    The tape plays like a final installment, going out with a bang and saving some of the series' best for last.

    Young Thug's extensive catalog is spotted with dynamic moments and this project seems to forgo such progressiveness. The range is still there, but sectioned into neatly packaged offerings.

    This isn’t one of the standout tapes in Thug’s ever-expanding discography. But, as always, it signifies development, progression--most of it accessible on "Drippin’".

    Slime Season 3, while still with its flaws, is the perfect introduction to those wondering just where the hell popular hip-hop has come, gone, and will soon go in the snowballing south.

    Although Young Thug moves away from exploring emotional pain, SS3 is still very much informed by introspection.

    This record feels a little too brief, especially trailing off at the end. But if the chief complaint about a Young Thug record is that he’s too focused, it shows he’s honing in on that perfect blend that will launch him into the stratosphere.

    Good as they are, there’s nothing like Calling Your Name or Don’t Know here, and its shorter tracklist means you’re just getting teed up for the back nine when time is called. Having said that, it’s free to download and another interesting release from hip-hop’s most idiosyncratic talent.

    Overall, Slime Season 3 stacks up well against Thug’s colorful catalog and is undoubtedly the most listenable mixtape in the series thus far.

This third installment continues with a similar sound to his Slime Season series, while offering a taste of Young Thug's willingness to experiment with vocals and delivery - as evident on 'Drippin'. Also provides clever/witty bars (similar to his idol Lil Wayne) on tracks like 'With Them' and 'Problem'.… Full Review »
