Sensational [Pink Vinyl]

After a series of viral successes and self-released singles and EPs, irreverent retro-sampling rapper Yung Gravy makes his full-length debut with Sensational. The project of Rochester, Minnesota native Matthew Hauri, Gravy made his name with cuts like "1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot" and the Lil Baby-assisted "Alley Oop," both of which are included here alongside several new collaborations like "Buttered Up" with Juicy J and "Charlene" with Mia Gladstone. On his first long-form collection, he expands on his penchant for retro imagery, old pop culture references, filthy language, and mixing traps beats and retro samples whose sources sometimes date as far back as the 1950s. ~ Timothy Monger
