You Are Forgiven

This ATL upstart’s debut is full of free-range raps and composite styles. Raised in Tokyo and now based in Atlanta, Malcolm Jamaal Davis embodies the attraction of opposites. Shards of video-game blips help to sew together the dual influences of lo-fi laptop rap and blaring trap bangers. Even when he’s dropping threats, Davis is an understated, playful presence, always stepping just left-of-center.
