POPCAAN - BEST MOOD

how the f*** did Popcaan put a tape out on Christmas and i'm just finding out a whole week later? his first indie release under the Unruly imprint so I guess that factors in. the projects flows really well, Popcaan in his mode as usual. even got a lil amapiano influenced joint on here.

feel-good tune and really fun video to go with it

KIRA'S WEEKLY REVIEWS 2024: 01/05

The Game & Big Hit - Paisley Dreams 5/10

NLE Choppa & DJ BOOKER - The Chosen Ones 4/10

OG Keemo - Fieber 7/10

German Kendrick (he hates the comparison). His weakest project yet but his other ones are conceptual and this is just a mixtape so 🤷🏻‍♂️. Still a good tape tho

real

we got a good week coming up!
