Although this new Canadian rapper has a lot more progress to be made the rich influences do not make deter from this great little debut album. The influences might be somewhat obvious, and distracting, Cartel really has some great ideas from all her influences and could mark herself into the future if she stays on the track she is on. From the booming trap beats of ?Fear & Loathing?, ?The Green Scare?, and ?Drift?, to the more hip-house beats of ?Lavender Nightz?, ?Dream Girl Concept?, and ?Contraband?. This album might be obviously two-sided, but both sides somewhat shine.
