3/5! Not too shabby at all although I think the reviewer did go a little overboard on the Kanye comparison. Also funny to me that he mentions “Fresh Cut” as a stand out track but no mention of “How It’s Gotta Be” feat. Kim Davis…..? To each their own I guess…either way, good look for the kid!

With so much pressure these days on artists to hit it big with their first release (as a second one is no longer guaranteed), it is not surprising that young rappers and producers would look to proven styles and artists for inspiration. That is precisely what Famous and production duo Burd and Keyz do on the Canadian rapper’s new album Goddess Girl. Famous hails from Toronto, a place he calls “a city everybody underestimates.” That underdog status, and the “prove everyone wrong” mentality it breeds go a long way to explaining why much of this 31-minute album’s songs can be traced back to familiar and relatively recent sources. It appears as if Famous wants to be everything to everyone, and make recognizable sounds and tap into established fan bases – not a bad way to approach a career.
