Jun 16, 2016A heavy album that doesn't pander to what's PC, what's on the radio, or what safe, suburban America believes.
-
Jun 16, 2016Here, it’s less about what Y.G. does than how he does it; digging deeper into vintage G-funk flavors with a blend of personal, party, and political tracks, the young Compton rapper takes a sizzling step forward.
-
Jul 22, 2016It’s full of the kind of warm G-funk that never fails to transport you to the part of the country it belongs to.
-
Jul 5, 2016Still Brazy is a testament that real-life experience breeds the best music but we can do without the shootouts from this point on.
-
Jun 21, 2016Still Brazy solidifies YG as a torch-bearer for west coast gangster rap.
-
Sep 12, 2016Here, the percussive sounds imply power and control in response to oppression. I will not be quiet. I will not be scared. I will let you know I am here, they say. But the melodic sounds are unstable, colored by fear and uncertainty.

-
Jun 16, 2016YG has gone and done himself one better, creating a record that stands tall alongside the full-lengths he once mined.
-
Jun 20, 2016Not only is Still Brazy, arguably the most sharply produced rap album of the year, emblazoned with the most pronounced storytelling of 2016, YG has un-apologetically used his gunshot as a metaphor for America in the time of Trump.
-
Jun 16, 2016Still Brazy is an artisanal, proletarian Los Angeles gangster rap record, less tribute to the sound’s golden age than a full-throated and wholly absorbed recitation.
-
The WireAug 19, 2016Still Brazy is thoroughly and unapologetically regional, but its thematic engines are universal. [Aug 2016, p.63]
-
Jun 23, 2016Every song lands, resounds, resists, and repeats true to its aim.
