Yung Gravy has to be one of the most entertaining characters we’ve seen in rap in quite a while. His silky smooth braggadocio and endlessly charismatic personality are just two pieces to one of the weirdest, wildest, and most fun puzzles that we’ve been blessed with in some time, and the best part of it all is that Gravy is seemingly one of rap’s most unlikely heroes. Nevertheless, the man himself has grown into an international star, and today, he’s here to bring this home with his long-awaited new album, Sensational.
13 tracks long, Sensational is just about as Gravy as it gets. The random soul samples and hilarious, vivid lyrics make for an endless supply of anthems, and just as we’ve seen in the past, Gravy’s lovable personality helps turn the new album into an oddly captivating release, all the way through. Sure, I love “serious” rap and I definitely appreciate the art of it, but that’s not to say that I don’t love sitting back, taking a break from everything, and listening to someone as fun as Yung Gravy think of 10 million ways to say he’s going to hit on your mom. It’s absolutely fantastic and honestly, more fun than a lot of rap out there today.
In a world where everyone seems to take themselves too seriously, Gravy just has fun with it; Sensational attests, passing by with flying colors as a perfect release for a downright enjoyable artist. As proudly odd as this album is, I must say it’s a fantastic listen and something that I would encourage all of our readers to check out. Packed with features from Juicy J, bbno$, Lil Baby, Pouya, and several others, Sensational is a full-circle ode to embracing life in all of its weird glory, so don’t sleep on this one.
