Debut tape by RMR, singer of whom we have little information: born in Atlanta in 1996, emerges thanks to his first song "Rascal", a single very well promoted and released in a period in which "went viral" had lost his original meaning, but was making strides to win it back.
The song allows him to get a deal with Warner and prepare his first major release, represented by this EP: "Drug Dealing is a Lost Art" promises a lot more than it can actually deliver. 23-minute trap country effort divided into 8 songs (including a remix) and 3 guests, Westside Gunn, Future and Lil Baby. The production is made by The Do Betters, ISM Beats, Dunk Rock, Andre Brissett and Timbaland: musically, the tape travels towards the melodic trap and lays the foundation for the alternative rnb tracks sung by RMR, with country vibes, thematically, it rests between gangsterisms and bravado.
Future and Lil Baby don't leave a strong impression on "Dealer"'s remix, while Westside Gunn provides uninspired, spoken delivery in the first few seconds on a piano loop, performing before the beat drops to mediocrity due to a lousy snare drum. Overall, it's an erratic work without a specific direction, leaving the impression that RMR has a lot of potential in making singles with his mix of rap, sung and spoken word, and can easily aim for the top of the Hot 100, but could have more obstacles in building albums. 6/10.
