Mirrorland is a breath of fresh air for ATL hip hop. I discovered EARTHGANG on JID’s
debut album released in 2017 on track
D/vision where they stole the track. Their music is fresh, rhythmic, and catchy. As Atlanta natives, I automatically expect the beats to be immaculate — and there were no let-downs. My favorite track at the moment is
This Side, which describes the experience of being aware and detaching from reality sometimes to gain some peace and maintain some sanity.
Tequila featuring T-Pain is my favorite Sunday Funday tune.. Mainly because I’m usually whipping out a glass of Don to start off my week. For some reason, the beat reminds me of Willy Wonka and that vibrato is live too — “Perfect Day to drink tequilaaaaaaaaaa”. Kehlani was a nice touch to
Trippin. These are definitely some 90's babies and I’m here for it.
I’ve noticed the public is doing a lot of comparing to the legendary
OutKast, but I honestly think people should allow artists to form or stay in their own lane. Not saying that the comparison is an insult, but it damn sure isn’t accurate — Although, I can see where it comes from - listen to the hooks of
This Side and
Blue Moon + their fashion choices, EARTHGANG is simply students of the game. That alone makes me a fan.
