Easy to moke the fall of the mighty. Who would have thought there would come a day when this one-hit wonder would fall by the wayside one day?
I don't know... anyone who has lived or even read a few lines of musical history, maybe? It's been over five years since his hit, "Trap Queen" (2014), Fetty Wap has been used, squeezed and thrown from the music market like everyone else before and after him. When the other one came along and overtook him at double speed to take a big chunk of the market, it was pretty much the end of this guy, and he was never able to find anything ever again a similar thing to his global hit.
Five years after his debut album, charted #1 in Billboard 200, he arrives with this effort easily categorized as an EP: seven tracks, twenty minutes quite subdued, lyrically it's not too different from other records in the genre and for most of the time he offers a light sung delivery on a simple and generic pop trap production, approaches light R&B sounds to attract a larger audience, without too much success. The tape is all-hooks and also tries a Future-like delivery in "Commas", failing, 4/10.
