| 4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | September 16th 16 |
If 2016 has taught me anything from a musical standpoint, it's that death, whether it is of the artist or of someone very close to the artist, is a context impossible to ignore when listening to the material they had last worked on. It's the same for Chinx. Right off of the bat, the first thing that strikes you about Legends Never Die is that it succeeds where so many posthumous releases fail; rather than being a compilation of unreleased or rare material of questionable quality that doesn't flow like an album at all, Legends Never Die sounds and flows like an album proper, with plenty of phenomenal tracks. Musically, it's melodically-inclined trap, which by virtue of its melodic stylings lends itself to a hybrid R&B sound as well. The production here is excellent, with banger after banger slamming effortlessly through the speakers. Chinx himself sounds wonderful, with his versatility on the microphone being chief of his many great qualities. It's bittersweet; while he's left behind this accomplishment, he's also left behind his family in his wife and children. It's a tough reminder of sobering nature of death. Shit ain't always all good.
