"The Parisian rapper, born to Senegalese and Guinean immigrants, is determined to do with music what Kylian Mbappé did with soccer: change the national perception of who and what a Frenchman can be".

"Afro trap-opfinderen MHD forsøger at genopfinde sin lyd med blandede resultater. På første halvdel af '19' finder den franske rapper inspiration i nye former for afrikansk musik og erstatter den sædvanligt tunge puls i sine sange med noget mere harmonisk og svævende. Men på anden halvdel prøver MHD en masse forskellige stilretninger af, og albummet med at flyde i for mange retninger som et floddelta".

"The rapper's new album 19 refines the ideas from MHD. The hooks are more distilled. The guitars gurgle and glitter, playing intricate, winding patterns that sometimes bring to mind other African musical styles like Coupé-Décalé, a form popular in Côte d'Ivoire and its diasporic communities. The slim, propulsive drumming on 19 frequently points elsewhere, to the 3-2 pattern found in the popular Nigerian export afrobeats. That's especially true on a pair of tracks where Nigerian stars Yemi Alade and Wizkid make guest appearances".
