The hip-hop half falls into the trap of becoming way too self-obsessed and sits itself on a high horse, perhaps the fault of the features. Then there's songs that have absolutely nothing interesting going for them - ' Witness' is just plain trash, while the next two tracks are just completely forgettable.
There are some okay tracks like ' Be Somebody' featuring A$AP Rocky and Lil B, with a great instrumental but lyrics that just feel like one big name drop (with no real point of doing so) and ' All Nite' with Vince Staples which has a strong message but a horrible delivery. The first half of the record is very much hit-or-miss.
The problem, however, lies with the features. Clams Casino produces beats and instrumentals for the tracks - and those are always spot on. The first half is a very hip-hop centric collection of songs, while the second half takes a poppier route. The record features a wide array of artists from several genres, and combines elements of both hip-hop and electronica into one collection of songs. Producer Clams Casino, known for tackling music with a bunch of big names such as FKA twigs and A$AP Rocky, has released his debut LP 32 Levels.
