“Compensating” finds Aminé in an apologetic mood, trying to remove the foot from his mouth while keeping his tongue-in-cheek.
“Shimmy” was a windows-down banger that reveled in hip-hop history, while second single “Riri” showed off his romantic side. Limbo is his sophomore album, and the follow-up to the 2018 EP/mixtape/what-have-you ONEPOINTFIVE.įrom what we’ve heard so far, Aminé is using Limbo to explore his whole range. Sometimes he recalled the punchlines-and-parties ethos of Big Sean, but occasionally he touched the madcap exuberance of an Andre 3000. He spent the subsequent years trying to carve out space between creative expression and commercialism. Now he’s back with another bop, linking up with Young Thug and releasing a music video for the slapping single “Compensating”.Īminé first burst onto the scene with his 2017 debut album Good for You, spurred on by the funkiness of “Caroline”.
In just a few days, Portland, Oregon rapper Aminé will release Limbo, one of the most-anticipated hip-hop albums of the summer.
