Lokye is a rapper from New York. "Color Coated 2" is a snapshot of his laid back, raw, city lifestyle. There are a lot of sung vocals, but the album is undeniably hip hop focused. Lokye's rap skills are good, but the strongest aspect of this album is the vibe. It's stoner-friendly in the production and lyracism, but it isn't lazily put together. Lokye has made a very high quality album to get high to. There isn't much depth, but to be fair the intended audience may not want or appreciate that. This stacks up to the artists in his lane, but his success may be based on how well he can stand out in the future. Gimmicky flashy rappers have had better luck in straight-forward hip hop success.
Overview
Lokye is a trill-wave rapper from New York City. Goon life has sung lyrics, pitch lowered areas, gang vocals; it's varied. The instrumentals are not complicated but they're well put together and stand out. Lokye's verses are party themed but unlike the music in the background his lyrics are extremely straight forward.
Defining Track
Rah is a song about confidence. There's a couple Lil B style lines, and the music feels like a laid back ASAP mob beat, but it's catchy.
Final Thoughts
Goon Life is very professional to be recorded pre-label. However Lokye needs an angle. Trill-wave music is cool, but there's a lot of competition in that lane.
