The album is truly amazing, just a different taste of songs in one tape. He's not just a rapper but an artist. And the features did well too. What more do people want.
The mixtape/compilation is a body of art. Maglera isn't for everybody. He had like 5 different themes/topics with each conveying the styles and sound & every featured artist was necessary because they all delivered. That's when you know that MDB isn't just a rapper but an artist. I commend him more for pushing the artists under his label. Basazoshubisa kakhulu. I'm happy that we get to close off the year on a note like this, especially for hiphop.
The album is a 8.5/10. Favorite songs Bophelo Speak love Envy Copenhagen Chowmein Damier Dreams Lefatshe People need to understand that maglera isn’t just a rapper however an artist. People expect him to have hard hitting verses in every track, which imo is restrictive and typecasts him as an artist. His from a diverse background, collaborated with all sorts of artists and has travelled the world why wouldn’t he want to incorporate those elements into his album. He’s The album is split into 5 thematic themes so if you listen to it with that in mind you’ll understand it’s cohesive in those pockets. In terms of features I believe he held his own and rarely/if at all is he buried in his own song. Plus we need to understand hip hop is in a different place now. Everyone, even your favorites has had multiple features on their album. It’s just the climate of the game. Which I think makes for good music.
It's not about hard hitting verses its about understanding your sound and your audience and playing to that this project his trying to experiment too much which ruines the project its honestly trash compared to diaspora which was a development of who he is and where he came from he was telling us a story giving us an insight into who he is, his state of mind, his environment and all this new tape had no direction its all over the place its disgusting
this album is sonically all over the places and some of the mixing sounded muddy and heavy low end , maglera is great with features but he is not an album guy
Ah bro he did release projects before that didn’t have many features. This is an album for the people and his connections, nothing is wrong with project. Good music only!
Your criticisms are weird regarding the features considering that it's not an album but moreso a mixtape/compilation meant to shine light on all his "musical" friends hence the vol.1 it's supposed to be a yearly release with him having fun with friends. Plus the lack of cohesion/sequencing criticism is weird considering that the album is split into 5 musically distinct chapters meant to show variety, again this wasn't sequenced like an album but a literal mixtape. The project is great if people stop wanting it to be an album and treat it like a mixtae where maglera has fun with his industry friends and ONDE label mates.
@AdonisNineteen99 flopped how? Because if you're referring to numbers then we have nothing to talk about as I don't view art through a commercial lens, if you're talking artistry then you must be high on some potent shit because you're wrong lol.

@luzukovetezo9004 Numbers don't lie bruv, this is still a business and if a casual listener looks up Maglera and they see his first week sales are less than 10K they won't even bother to stream his music... you have a loser mentality bruh, stop making excuses in your life.
@@AdonisNineteen99 lol needing numbers to affirm whether you like something or not is the true loser mentality. As it showcases your inability to think and decide for yourself. Lol maybe that's why you didn't get the project, it challenges your inability to think
Maglera is not moving properly he's losing his freshness every artist does and he's not and has not been leveraging it properly.. Ayi yoh sizofunda nini, hopefully this works for him
i dont get the hype around this guy mainstream media is forcing him down our throat tbh the broer is wack only earlier hits he cooked eg never ride verse, njaka, let me cook and rap relay the rest is garbage

Beautiful 👏🏾 couldn't have said it any better
Envy is my favorite song on the album too… Lia Butler deserves her flowers 💯
The intro set high expectations... That would have been a dope direction but I guess the features diverted the sound.

This Album is DOPE. Real recognise real.
"back against the wall ashy knuckle"
😂😂❤Only love big dawg I personally give it a 7 cause it's a Mixtape not an album 😮😊
