Former Stranger contributor Larry Mizell Jr. once wrote, "In a genre where all but the avant fringes utilize the exact same type of beats, flows, and worldview, grown people who still enjoy the hypnotizing, war-chant quality of contemporary rap have to find what they like along the spectrum (a term popularly swiped from the mental-health world and appropriately appropriated here). Maybe you can’t fuck with most SoundCloud bottom-feeders and their lo-fi, mainstream trap reenactment society. Or maybe you, like me, can’t really stand Uzi but find that 'South Atlanta goon.' Playboi Carti more smoothly deploys that effort-free 'ooh-yah' filler-flow, without the artificial sweeteners. As a far better MC once said: 'So we internalize that, but then we customize that..'" Catch the artist as he rolls through town on his Narcissist Tour.
