Hit-Boy - Surf or Drown Review | Boring Raps Over Exceptional Beats

Surf or Drown is one of those albums that people bump for a week or two and then totally forget about. While Hit-Boy may have evolved as a Producer, the same cannot be said for him as an MC.

I had no idea this was coming out. I’m going to listen before I read the review.

Hit-Boy should have chose more established artist to be on his album. More boom bap artist of yesterday other than Nas might have helped but I don't know what the budget was. The production was excellent the rappers chosen,not so much. I may have to listen to it again.

I think the problem is that lyrically he cannot hold an entire album on his own hence why every song has a guest. But let’s say he went with a bunch of A-listers, it will create too big of a disparity between his bars and theirs.

I believe the guests were cool and wouldn’t have been an issue if he had stronger verses. It was like one snooze verse and then a mid tier verse on most songs. Even Nas’ verse was mid.

Album is mid AF. Should have let Victims and Villains keep all the light for March.

Slipping Into Darkness has bars and a lot of subliminal disses to Kanye West. I would be interested to see if this progresses further.

Shiiiit who do you think would have been better? I felt like everyone held it down.
