Last year in 2019, Dave East finally dropped his debut album, Survival . I wasn't too psyched about the album so I didn't end up reviewing it.

While Aminé did drop a mixtape in 2018 titled OnePointFive , Limbo comes nearly three years after his debut studio album. The first track from the album is Burden . While it does start with a short little skit about picking up a friend from jail, when the beat comes in, you know it's going to be amazing. It seems to have a vocal sample, as well as some slick guitar part. I can definitely
