Cookin Soul — Good Job

Cookin Soul takes the liberty of brushing up on some of his previous works in this release, providing ten tracks, twenty-five minutes.

The first cut is strong, perhaps too strong, clearly superior to the following nine tracks: there's a fresh top rhythm by Cookin Soul and there's a fresh top performance by Freddie Gibbs. "Turn It Up" has some similarities with "I'm God" by Clams Casino: the producer places the best sample of the project, ethereal melodic female, very deep, he combines it with a lean midtempo drum that sounds cheap. The instrumental is fantastic, unfortunately, there's Lil B who ruins everything by muttering something. The heavy and rough voice of Chyno Nyno creates a contrast with the melody of the chosen rhythm, while the Willie the Kid song seems the opposite, his melodic voice creates a contrast with the shrill horn sample.

"Stove Top" is the other great moment of the edition: there's a melodic production to welcome Currensy, a smooth sax sample in the background with distant light drum + snare drum in evidence, it looks like a Harry Fraud rhythm before Harry Fraud. Currensy thanks. Then, yes, there are Mac Miller, Evidence, Fashawn, Adje, Jayy Grams and Tek, but the best is over. There's some decent rhythm, some good samples. Some rap. Cookin Soul's typical "safe" tape, this isn't the first project that comes to your mind when you think about its best.
