Okay, let’s begin with the simple question: who the fuck is Brian Fresco? He’s part of the save money collective out of Chicago. The exact same group that spawned the #1 indie rapper of our time, possibility the Rapper. as well as likewise gave us Joey Purp as well as Vic Mensa. So, yeah, they understand a little about hip hop.
Unlike most of his bandmates, Fresco’s rhymes tend to be much more gutter. A little much more street. Not completely grimey, not completely gutter, however sufficient of a G to pull of lines like, “All she truly needed was a little bit of liquor, as well as her ass got thicker as well as her pimp game triggered…”
And of program possibility the Rapper appears, on the lead single “Higher,” as well as drops some verses that are quickly as great as his finest stuff. extremely generous. It should be a testament to his support for Fresco.
This is Brian Fresco’s second release this year, complying with up on his “Mafioso” mixtape (which I’ve included below). that one had much more guest spots as well as felt like a much more conventional mixtape. It was still extremely good–better than most of what you’ll hear these days–but it’s not as revelatory as Casanova. Casanova is a collection of singles, to be sure, like most rap albums. The general hip hop audience doesn’t have an ear for albums so much these days. however for the heads, it will feel like a true album. Fresco’s autotune, which he uses generously, changes tonally throughout, moving from light to heavy as well as back again. There’s difficult swagger, great deals of it, however stuck inside are personal tracks like “Dandelion,” hidden tight to safeguard their vulnerability.
“God damn I like me, nobody I’d rather be…”
I can’t state exactly how much I appreciate a rapper who really loves himself. It’s not a brag or a boast. It’s not a defense. It feels real. He knows life is hard, however he’s discovering what he loves–mostly drinking, smoking, as well as huge booty women–and making the most of it, getting all he can out of the short time he’s here. who knows if Fresco will strike up like his good friends possibility as well as Joey Purp. All I can state is, based on Casanova, he deserves to.
