Lil Grayski - ATIMUV (Complete Edition)
Weekly Music
Lil Grayski
just released an expanded edition of his project, and he's calling it "ATIMUV (Complete Edition)." This extended version brings 11 new songs to the original 8 from "A Trip In My Unfocused Visions." It's a clever move on Grayski's part, a strategy often referred to as "waterfalling." It allows him to release a substantial 19-song album over time instead of dropping it all at once. The "ATIMUV (Complete Edition)" feels like a cohesive and well-structured project. In his previous work, Grayski seemed to be searching for his musical identity, but now, he appears to have found it. His sound and style have evolved in a direction where he can truly thrive. The opium aesthetic he embraces serves as a promising starting point for his future direction. Of course, in the creative world, things can change, and new visions can emerge unexpectedly, but Grayski is currently in an excellent position. The project boasts some fantastic production, and one track that particularly stands out is "GRUNGE GIRLZ." Its high-energy production with distorted 808s has become a modern classic. Grayski's cadence and delivery on this track are outstanding.
What sets him apart is that he enunciates his lyrics clearly, avoiding the mumbled delivery that's prevalent among many artists in his lane. It's a subtle but crucial aspect that enhances the overall listening experience. The same energy flows throughout the entire project. Personal favorites and standout tracks include "RAN," "GRUNGE GIRLZ," and "MAYBACH MUSIC 2." The project displays a nice diversity, with tracks like "SORRY4THAT" blending pop-punk and rap elements seamlessly, creating a synergy with the hyperpop rage rap sound that's so popular. All these genres share a common aesthetic thread. Grayski also pays homage to the past with tracks like "SORRY4THAT" and "WON'T STOP," which exude nostalgic vibes. Grayski's performance on both songs is commendable, and the production captures the essence of 90s Nirvana, delivering a sound that resonates with fans of that era. Grayski's versatility shines through, putting him in league with some of the city's best acts. What's truly exciting about Grayski is his wide-ranging musical tastes and his willingness to experiment and push boundaries. He's not afraid to explore new directions, and that's what sets him apart. The future holds a lot of promise, and fans can eagerly anticipate what Grayski has in store for us next.
