Review
"Life's a Trip," the debut studio album by Trippie Redd, released on August 10, 2018, is a colorful sonic journey that reflects his eclectic influences and artistic versatility. With 14 tracks, the album meanders through various genres, featuring lyrical rap, rock vibes, and R&B touches. Tracks like "Taking a Walk" and "How You Feel" offer a glimpse into Trippie Redd's knack for introspective melodies, while songs like "Bang!" and "Uka Uka" pump up the energy with their intense and vigorous beats.
Elevating the album's diversity are guest spots from the likes of Travis Scott on "Dark Knight Dummo," a track that's not just popular but also Platinum-certified. The presence of Young Thug and Reese Laflare on "Forever Ever" brings even more variety to the mix. While critics were generally favorable of the album, appreciating Redd's vocal range and genre-blending experiments, some felt it lost its way at times, with production choices that seemed to muddle his unique voice. Still, "Life's a Trip" made a notable commercial impact, starting off with strong sales and eventually earning a Gold certification, a testament to its bold artistic vision. This debut leaves us eagerly anticipating what's next on Trippie's unpredictable musical journey. - Ellis
