Soundcloud rap at this point is an ambiguous term because the new wave of upcoming artists consists of a plethora of different sounds that are generally experimental or futuristic. While theres also a deal of saturation with artists trying different sounds, Goonie stood out to me among the crowd for his nonchalant but smooth form of rap-singing. “This thing of ours vol. 2” is an ideal showcase of his distinct artistry which has the potential to take Goonie to the next level of recognition. There’s something about his raps that seems so exclusive to what he’s thinking and going thru but at the same time hits as relevant. Throughout the whole tape Goonie uses his pompous phrases to compliment the meticulous beats that make up a good portion of this projects unique value.
Benjicold had most of the production credits and really helped shape the sound of the tape with his deep euphoric melodies and experimental drums thats sure to turn heads such as the insane sequences in songs like designer drugs. Other credits include dawn, mino, 30nickk, soroyal, 1ktekk, and even Goonie himself. Goonie also recruits some of the wave’s most prominent artists such as Summrs, KanKan, and Yeat.
You can tell how special this project is to Goonie in each song, teaching us all to be proud of our insanity.
