Damn I really wished one thing people took from the nas and hit boy runs is that this doesn't have to be true
"Called my counterparts, I told 'em they gotta try this s***."
Damn. What a reply. So f***ing true bro.
That GQ interview story thing is borderline unwatchable
I found it truly inspiring even if at times the interviewer being so forcing with the „but you need to rap!!!!“ perspective was annoying
This is absolutely beautiful, Andre's use of chords is insane, it feels like you're being comforted from space, really intricate sound design, couldn't sound further from what I was worried it'd sound like (a guy on a flute in his garage)

Everything about it was very annoying to me. Same with the print version.
Overall this was decent, 4 of the songs would’ve met my expectations, the other 4 are a little more underwhelming and aimless
I think the digital flutes kind of worked against Andre because when it just sounds like a synth, I don’t really know if it’s even him. And since this is a solo album by him and not a band effort, that’s not so desirable.
All the tracks do add to the ambient vibe but yeah. I don’t know, kind of cool piece of art but probably leaves a little bit to be desired. It’s one thing to have him not rapping, but when I can’t even tell if he’s playing, then you start to lose me
Tracks 1, 3, and 8 are the best tracks where andres flute playing actually stands out and is the focus, like one would expect. On most of the other tracks, Andre’s role isn’t really as defined. I enjoy track 6 too, I probably would’ve just cut the album to those 4 tbh

Worse than that was Andre doing this “I’m not a rapper”‘routine for the interviewer, he was lowkey disrespecting hip hop it was kind of f***ed up
cant wait to listen tomorrow again while outside
