To say Bladee's had a great year this year is an understatement. His debut Eversince is one of if not the most unique albums of the year, and he doesn't skip a beat on this collaborative EP with fellow Gravity Boys member Thaiboy Digital. With production handled by whitearmor, who once again turns in a practically flawless performance, the icy backdrop is set for both Bladee and Thaiboy, who trade autotune-drenched verses and hooks with a seamless synergy. The tracks here are very concise, and no songs overstay their welcome. There's no shortage of great hooks ("Painkillers", "Brokeboy", "Area 51"), or great beats (the whole EP), and there is a nice variety here as well, with tracks like "1Million" and "Winter" being slower-paced but ultimately quite beautiful, while something like "2X" is much more trap-flavored than the rest of the songs. Mostly, though, it's in the lane that "Still In Search Of Sunshine" lays down, and it's quite great. In short, AvP puts the finishing touches on what has been a phenomenal year for both GTBSG and SBE alike. Edit: "Finishing touches"... me and my big mouth
