I can't remember the last time that a project grabbed me this immediately. It probably helps that the first track (and the fourteen following) runs its course in a minute flat, but it's not like more of any of these would be a bad thing. It's been amusing to watch people around the internet freak out trying to solve this, convinced that the simple-enough concept - fifteen minute-long raps - is a part of some greater mystery, or that there are full-length (i.e. different, longer) versions of these tracks forthcoming. Perhaps it's my pro-snippet bias (discussed at length enough already, I think) talking, but I adore this tape all the way down to the excellent video that accompanies it.

Tierra Whack is from Philadelphia, which is more apparent in the creativity and leftfield sensibility behind the project as a whole moreso than any particular sound. She touches on a new style nearly every track, calling to mind someone like Noname as much as she does her citymate Jill Scott. Sore Loser sounds like she might've set out to write a Drake song (and succeeded). This thing flies by just like you might expect, but the fifteen different directions it goes in makes it pleasantly easy to forget where you started. I biked around Cheesman Park the other night intending to listen to it once, but made it through three and a half listens before realizing what had happened. I ate shit shortly thereafter and limped home to the back half, less bothered than I might've been.

Highlights: Hookers, Pet Cemetary, Pretty Ugly
