Beans is a unique rapper. He delves in electro-beats, so they're a little psychedelic. End It All is not a hip hop album you can groove to. The beats are typically weak. He swims in a nebulous environment that would otherwise be uncontainable but is restricted by the beat. It prevents him from going just a little too far off course.
The backdrops are way out there too. And I can't stress that enough. I'd consider them extraterrestrial to the world of hip hop. That being said, they're also really interesting. I've had a couple of "oh, wow" moments. So if you're open to a little bit of a foreign sound, then definitely have a listen.
He relies on his wit to write lyrics and to freestyle. As a result, his raps resemble something from greats like Aesop Rock or MF DOOM. But I still must warn, Beans' spits some weird stuff. His lyrics are almost like rapid-fire poetry. Sometimes they can be crude and aggressive, but that's honestly the best way I can describe it.
A little part of me thinks it sounds like questionable 90s' hip hop, but better.
Verdict 3.3/5. Favorite songs: Superstar Destroyer, Gluetraps, Air Is Free, Hardliner, and Hunter (this song is so crazy).
Best, Jonathan
