Various - Payola 2

Review by Marianne Kwiatkowski

Payola 2, the compilation album by Various, is a mixed bag of music that is sure to please fans of various genres. The album features a diverse selection of tracks from artists such as Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Gunna, and Juice WRLD, among others.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Hot" by Young Thug featuring Gunna. The track is a catchy, upbeat banger that showcases the duo's impressive flow and lyrical prowess. Another highlight is "Lucid Dreams" by Juice WRLD, a melancholic track that features the rapper's signature emo-rap style.

However, not all tracks on Payola 2 are equally impressive. Some, like "Racks on Racks" by Lil Pump, feel repetitive and lackluster. Additionally, the album's lack of cohesion may be jarring for some listeners, as it jumps between different genres and styles.

Summary by Marianne Kwiatkowski

Payola 2 is a solid album that offers a good mix of popular tracks from various artists. While some tracks may fall flat, the album as a whole is a great addition to any music lover's collection.
