Desiigner<\/a> took the internet by storm in 2016 with his debut record “Panda.” It wasn’t just because of the Future<\/a> comparisons, but simply because the song was an absolute banger. It still is to this day and it’s why the Brooklyn rapper became an overnight sensation. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, despite him sticking to his guns for the most part,<\/a> his career never exploded like it was probably supposed to. Sadly, the backing of Kanye West<\/a> and G.O.O.D. Music wasn’t even enough. Despite many wanting to point to his talent level, you can argue that the label was to blame. <\/p>\n

But while his hitmaking stretch in the late 2010s came to an end a while back, Desiigner is still making new music and giving fans some nostalgic vibes in the process. You can relive those days on his brand-new tape, ii, which is out now via his own label, LOD Entertainment. <\/p>\n

In conjunction with the familiar trap instrumentals, Desiigner is showing off his abilities to create vibey melodies. Songs like “All Night” are his takes on pop rap and R&B. That’s how a majority of the second half of the record goes. <\/p>\n

While we can appreciate him veering off into other sonic palettes<\/a>, we have to say we can still hear the Future inspiration a little too much. It sounds like him trying to tap into his HNDRXX bag and copying it at times. <\/p>\n

But if you can look past that sameness, then this project sounds just fine to ride in the whip too. <\/p>\n
