Each track on the album is messy, not the way a Witte den looks on Sunday morning, but like a Jackson Pollack painting. But his vocals are not confined to only rapping. Adding on to the vital quality of the album is the way the songs are comprised. Rashad’s songs bleed into the real world. Pay attention to the hook of “Free Lunch” when he says “MEAL Ticket // Get your MEAL ticket.” This annunciation gives his words a character of their own, as if he’s saying them directly to the listener. In addition, Rashad can project emotion through his voice in his studio recordings in a way many rappers can only accomplish in a live setting.
