Son of Sam is the fifth project by American hip hop recording artist Lucki and his second extended play; it was released on March 22, 2016.[1]
Background[edit]
Lucki released the first song "Selful" in November 2015, but was soon deleted for unknown reasons.[citation needed] On December 18, 2015, Lucki released "Jigga 98" with only his verse.
Reception[edit]
Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork notes the apparent influence of recreational drugs on the music, calling the vocals "sedated and leisurely".[2]
Leor Galil, for Chicago Reader described "hazy, narcotized soundscapes", finding experimentation on "Jigga 98" and a more somber atmosphere on "Syrup Talk".[3]
Chris Mench of Complex described the album as "Eck$ spitting over hazy, haunting beats", finding a "dark appeal" in the release.[4]
