Twenty88 – Twenty88

Review

'TWENTY88' ain't just another collab, it's a whole vibe. Big Sean and Jhené Aiko came through with this joint that's got more layers than a wedding cake. Dropped on April Fool's Day 2016, but trust, this ain't no joke. They're serving up a full course meal of love, conflict, and everything in between.

These two cats ain't playing around with the sound either. They've got Detail, KeY Wane, and Tommy Brown cooking up beats that'll have you nodding your head and feeling some type of way. It's like they took a time machine, snatched some 70's soul, mixed it with some space-age swag, and sprinkled in some Blaxploitation and 007 for good measure. The result? A sonic journey that's both nostalgic and fresh to death.

Now, let's talk about the meat and potatoes of this joint. Sean and Jhené are laying it all out there, getting real about relationships in a way that'll have you feeling seen. They're not just spitting bars and singing hooks; they're telling stories that'll hit close to home. And when K-Ci & JoJo slide through on 'Two-Minute Warning', it's like the icing on an already delicious cake. Eight tracks might seem light, but trust me, it's quality over quantity all day with this one. - Draya
