With all of Swedish rapper and producer Yung Lean’s music, you either love it or hate it. Lean’s new album Warlord is no exception: you will either enjoy every second, or will have to suffer through it.

Released on Feb. 25, Warlord is Lean’s second studio album. Yung Lean first rose to fame in 2013 with the release of his mixtape Unknown Death 2002. Known for his more unconventional style of slack rapping, Lean’s music is normally categorized as sad rap due to its emotional tones and Lean’s tendency for outspoken emotions.

As a fan of Yung Lean, I find this album to be one of his better artful creations. While I feel that his high was his first mixtape Unknown Death 2002, with its light-hearted feel and summer day music vibe, the production on Warlord is unparalleled to his past work.

In 2014 on his first studio album, Unknown Memory, Lean began to shift from his upbeat production to a more dark, muddled, bass-fueled sound to match the despair he was portraying in his lyrics. While this was accomplished on half of the tracks, the other half felt as though he was unsure of his direction. Now Lean is completely sure of himself and delivers dark melodies that speak to the soul of those who are willing to listen.

While this album is nothing substantial, I can recommend it for those who enjoy quality beats accompanied by subpar but moving vocals. Standout tracks are “Immortal,” “Afghanistan,” “Highway Patrol,” “AF1s” and “Stay Down.”
