I knew this album was important and I want people to understand that. I do things the way I want, and I don’t like to conform to anyone. Full Look: VREDE919 You took your time with this album, did you ever feel pressure to keep up with the fast-paced industry or were you allowed to go at your own pace?Īminé: If anybody knows me, I’m a pretty stubborn person. I don’t want to jinx myself because none of that should matter more than actual music, but I’ve just never seen that kind of positive reviews of an album of mine. Full Look: Kesh Limited What was the most surprising take you’ve seen/heard about the album?Īminé: I know I’ve put out good albums in the past that did well, but this is the first time I’ve put an album out and seen so many albums of the year comments. Blazer: Saint Laurent Now that Limbo has had a chance to marinate, do you feel you achieved all that you set out to do with the record?Īminé: Yeah, it did – it gave people a whole new type of sound from me, which is exactly what I want to do with every album I release. With the album still on repeat, we caught up with Aminé to take a deep dive into some of the album tracks, discuss his process and of course, discover his FAULTs. Musically the album is very much your classic hip-hop album yet draws on the best aspects of modern hip-hop, creating something comfortably familiar yet acoustically brand-new and flawlessly Aminé. While we’ve learned much about Aminé from his previously released albums and mixtapes, in August of this year, he released Limbo, an album which many are calling album of the year and they might be right. Last week Aminé gave an astounding performance of tracks Woodlawn and Burden on Jimmy Kimmel from (and at times within) a hot air balloon proving that despite the pandemics’ disastrous effects on the music industry – he’s still committed to putting on a show.
The Portland rapper’s distinctive flow and “happy hip-hop” persona has placed him on every top ten hip-hop artist list imaginable, but while you might know his music, you’ll never guess his next move. Don’t be lazy, ’cause there’s always going to be a kid working harder than you.By now, you all know Aminé. I feel like the only thing you can do is work harder than everyone else. “Just being a kid in your bedroom, I would just upload ideas to SoundCloud, and I was very naive… Being that DIY kid in your bedroom is scary, it’s depressing. In a recent interview with Complex, Aminé spoke about how far he’d come and the difficulties of making it as a SoundCloud rapper. His budget has certainly had a come-up: Limbo features contributions from Young Thug, Vince Staples, Slowthai, J.I.D, Injury Reserve, Summer Walker, and Charlie Wilson. Limbo is his second official studio album. Aminé followed up his debut album Good For You with the 2018 mixtape ONEPOINTFIVE, a darker effort that found the MC exposing his depression while occasionally dipping a toe into the contemporary trap scene. Aminé wasn’t just vibing on the Caroline of OutKast’s “Roses” he was channelling the outlandish spirit of André 3000, and energizing rap with his wacky glee. The Portland, OR rapper has been the talk of the hip-hop water cooler since his 2016 single “Caroline”. Aminé has unleashed his highly-anticipated new album Limbo.
