How the Music Critic Score works
Buy Demons Protected by Angels from Amazon
Though rap has gone multinational like never before, the most paradigm-shifting artists still possess a specific sense of place and personal identity. Drake absorbs and focus-groups sounds from Afrobeat to UK drill, but he never lets us forget he's from Toronto, and his last album Honestly, Nevermind even featured the Canadian MC spitting in a Quebecouis patois. Travis Scott makes psychedelic vibers for international music festivals, but his sound is just screwed enough to remind the listeners he's a Houston native.
