“Are Yøu Seriøus?” is one highlight - indie strings arrive with uplifting synths, creating this strange mix of doubt and drive. His drawls stretch across the beat as he questions himself, then flips it into confidence with lines like, “Two choices in this world, grind hard or play it safe / Oakley glasses on me she think it’s a blind date.” You hear the conflict, but you also hear someone who knows who he is.

The grief of losing his mom hangs over the project too. It feels darker and rawer than what came before, but that honesty turns into strength. He brings everything to the front and leans on the mic to push through.

That same mellowness shows up across his discography. On his first album Øk, I Get It, he leans more melodic. In “Reptilian,” strings and violin carry nostalgia and regret, while the trap feel makes the heartbreak hit harder. Across it all, you come out of it feeling like you can handle your own weight a little better.
