the song w/ future is dope mostly bcuz it might be burna's best rapping on the album -- "rollie that's a bustdown it's full of diamonds / it don't tell the time but it's 80 thousand" -- but future feels patched in. i can't even remember anything about YG's part. one of the reasons this album is good is bcuz the token crossover guests are tacked onto already good songs in ways that feel superfluous at worst but not really detracting in any real way

“Pull Up” has snuck up on me, it’s on autoplay in my head now. Btw, it’s not even the first Kel P-produced “Pull Up” with Dilemma sample that Burna was involved in this year:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecc_6DLTrtITimaya ft. Burna Boy • Pull Up

The album has entered the UK album charts at 16 this week, and the Dutch charts at 12. Some kind of milestone for sure.

There's a sound in the 'Anybody" mix that sounds like a 'email sent' notification in outlook so whenever i listen i have a weird visceral reaction. still my fav song of the year tho

he's pretty disengaged from the crowd, not even a nod or smile of acknowledgement. he still delivered tho. that backup singer is a star.
