Reviews
"Rocky’s curatorial eye adopts a more intimate gaze, rendering his collage of disparate inspirations more like a mixtape made for a friend than a sterile exhibition space.", "Underneath the glossy veneer, the worldly 27-year-old honors his fallen friend by expanding his consciousness, deepening his faith, and honing his craft...", "This album is more expansive, more inclusive and much deeper, with a palette that dips into blues rock, Wu-Tang Clan, G-Funk, psychedelic folk and more.", "ALLA is a thrillingly focused follow-up that betrays its anxieties even as it mostly makes do with extolling the virtues of vice.", "The Harlem-bred MC, 27, dives headfirst down the rabbit hole on his hypnotic second studio album -- a record as steeped in murky psychedelia as it is in the luxury-rap swagger of his star-making 2013 debut.", 3.5 Stars Out of 5 -- "His Head's in the Stratosphere, but His Mind Is Heavy with Reality."
