Jeffery

"Appellations and hype notwithstanding, Thug's latest brings gems on unconventional beats, alongside run-of-the-mill, sex-boast trap fodder ... The trick is going to be getting a 12-song album that crosses over and takes Thug from his current position of celebrated rap curio to genuine star. That, rather than a name game, looks like Lyor Cohen's biggest challenge".

"With his debut still in limbo, the artist soon-to-be formerly known as Young Thug is refreshingly confident in himself and his career trajectory ("I just signed a deal with Calvin, baby clap for me") but is also continuously reckless with his execution, for better or worse. Regardless, from the jamming intro to the sublime closer, Jeffery is a testament to the rapper's carefree spirit. And if his uninhibited self-expression offends, he has but one bar for you: "pardon me, pardon my soul."".

"The rap iconoclast returns with his best album since Barter 6, daring and chameleonic, filled with hooks about identity, love, and that undefinable future swag. - "Best New Music"".

"Den uforlignelige og uforudsigelige Young Thug (...) gakker (...) ud i alle forhåndenværende retninger og udgav tre mixtapes sidste år. Det ene af dem, 'Jeffery', var genistregen ... I løbet af godt 40 sonisk ambitiøse og hele tiden opfindsomme minutter strækker og sprænger Young Thug sin stemme på nye måder, der næsten ikke er til at genkende som rap. Samtidig er 'Jeffery' det mest fremsynede hiphop, der endnu er kommet ud af Atlanta, med sin febervilde blanding af ambiente klange, fragmenter af reggae og futuristiske trap. Den androgyne Young Thug slår krumspring med sin manipulerede stemme og folder personlige fortællinger og berømmelsens glittede overflade ind i hinanden til et stykke musikalsk origami".
