Ski Mask The Slump God - Sin City MIXTAPE REVIEW
Let me tell you, this is not a Frank Miller joint, sadly.
I’ve been pretty excited for this one. Ski Mask The Slump God has always been an eccentric rapper with amazing songs but not that many great projects. His last project, 2018’s STOKELEY, was and still is a fun exception from that statement, and in a smart move, he rode the success of that album very well. Every now and then, he’s dropped a few singles and given out a couple features, but he’s remained relatively silent for the past couple of years. Now, after a few years behind the spotlight, Ski Mask’s ready to come back in full force in 2021, starting with his comeback mixtape, Sin City. How’s it sounding? Let’s find out.
This mixtape is insanely short, clocking in at only 17 minutes. The project itself has a pretty dark atmosphere, like the Sin City franchise itself. “Merlin’s Staff,” produced by Kenny Beats, has a great Missy Elliot sample with it. Honestly, outside of that, there’s not that much worth listening to. I don’t think he’s that great of a singer either, but there’s a lot more of that on here for some reason. I’m not saying he should stop, but he really should at least stick to rapping more. The acoustic track that ends the album reminds me of XXXTENTACION’s 17, and quite frankly, I kinda don’t wanna be reminded of that album.
After such a long hiatus, I was hoping that Ski Mask The Slump God could make a great project on the level of STOKELEY. Sadly, Sin City isn’t that project. It’s a bit of a mess, but it’s not his worst project by any means. Hopefully, this is the worst thing he drops this year since he plans on dropping more this year. It’s pretty forgettable in the scheme of his discography.
