Review

Imagine this: It’s late afternoon, and the sky is awash with shades of amber and gold as the sun begins to set. The perfect moment to dive into Russ' major-label debut, "There's Really a Wolf." Released in 2017, this album is a bold statement of his do-it-yourself ethos and steadfast creative control. Russ, the sole composer, producer, and writer of all 20 tracks, showcases his diverse talent and determination. The title, drawn from the idea of "crying wolf," reflects his commitment to proving his worth after years of hard work and self-released projects.

The album is a rich collection of both new and cherished tracks, including fan favorites like "What They Want," "Pull the Trigger," "Do It Myself," and "Losin Control," which first gained traction on SoundCloud. These songs highlight Russ' unique blend of catchy melodies and introspective hip-hop beats. Commercially, "There's Really a Wolf" was a hit, peaking at number seven on the US *Billboard* 200 and reaching number four on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. With a Platinum certification by the RIAA in 2018, the album's success underscores Russ' growing fan base and enduring impact on the hip-hop community. - Aurora
