bloom

*bloom* shows the evolution of MGK. The hard rhymer is firmly intact, trading lines with Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign on “Trap Paris” and grinding hard on “Wake + Bake.” But MGK cannot live by rap alone; he lets his singing voice free on “Let You Go,” “Go for Broke,” and “Rehab,” the latter a solid country tune, albeit one in an urban setting. His streak of inspirational cuts continues with “At My Best” and “27.” *bloom* allows MGK to speak from the heart using whatever style he wants.
