Artist: Cleezy Picasso
Album: My Little Dark World
Articulation: King Acklin
My Little Dark World is the latest project from Louisville artist, Cleezy Picasso. Released at the back end of July (a couple of weeks ago), the 16-track project gives a glimpse of Cleezy’s world. On this project Cleezy reminds me of Rod Wave mixed with a little bit of Uzi Vert. The good thing is Mr. Picasso is not depressing at all.
The project gives me a feeling of an artist trying to open up his life and thoughts to the world, while perhaps battle a few things mentally. At the same time, you get the feeling Cleezy is trying to have some fun here. The fun shows on tracks like the opening joint, Hurt In My Eyes and Lifestyle. Cleezy goes for rock star status here as well, with tracks like Drive Me Crazy and Vacation.
Stand out tracks like No Disrespect and Mad At Me highlight the best parts of this album, but also what could have been had there been a few more like them on the project. These joints are straight bars and vibes. Overall, the production is solid, but would have benefited from maybe dropping a couple of songs and maybe less of use of what is assumed to be autotune on his voice. The vision and talent is there, plus Cleezy has a noticeably unique voice.
Bottom line and question of the day; Is It Dope Tho? The answer is yes, it’s a Solid project and the next one from Cleezy could be Heat level. The project is a 6 on the Dope Tho Scale. Listen now and judge for yourself #DopeTho #YouWelcome
