"Glockoma 2" album review

Glockoma 2 wasn't really on my radar at all - I got it as one of those notifications from Spotify. I was interested soon as I saw the cover and the tone of the album matches pretty well: the beats are generally dark and maybe horror-inspired.

"Dirt" (prod. King Ceeo) is a fantastic introduction to this record and it has some of Key Glock's strongest rapping. While I don't recognize the sample, it's haunting to listen to, especially with strings that we hear throughout. "Work" is even grittier and darker. It's the first of several Bandplay produced songs on the album (it kind of sounds like there's Mongolian throat singing on here?) and in my opinion it's the best one.

Worst thing I could say about this album is it could get a little repetitive. If you really like Key Glock it works because there isn't a boring song on here, but as an album the flows could get tired toward the middle. It picks up around "Ratchet" (another Bandplay track) but man...I'm just really glad I got that far. Another track worth naming is "Designer Down" (produced by Bankroll Got It) because I feel like it explicitly sounds inspired by a Three 6 Mafia song.

Overall the beats are the star on this album, but if I had to list my favorite bar it would be: "My auntie seen my Jesus piece and she said, "Goddamn, holy shit"" (on Homicide Gvng).

Last thing I have to say: it's no features on this album, and I'm not sure if it would gain from any. I'm looking forward to revisiting this in a week.
