Scorpion (2018) Review

Scorpion — Album Review

The two-disc structure creates room for both aggressive rap and subdued singing. “God’s Plan,” “Nice for What,” and “In My Feelings” show an extraordinary ability to make songs that dominate popular culture, while quieter cuts revisit distrust and relationships.

At twenty-five tracks, the record asks more patience than its strongest material requires. The abundance is simultaneously its commercial strategy and its principal artistic weakness.

Louilink rating: Awaiting editor score.
