EST Gee Delivers with I Aint Feeling You The Bonus Edition
Last week, EST Gee made waves with the release of his new studio album I Aint Feeling You, marking the Louisville, Kentucky native's first project since his August 2023 release, EL TORO 2. Anticipation was high for this body of work, and since its debut on digital streaming platforms last Friday, the reception from fans and critics alike has been overwhelmingly positive.
The album boasts an impressive feature list, including collaborations with heavy hitters like Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Veeze, and Rylo Rodriguez, which undoubtedly contributed to the initial excitement surrounding the project. Early fan favorites like "Houstatlantaville" and "My Love" have garnered significant streams, highlighting the album's strong replay value and solidifying EST Gee's presence in the current hip-hop landscape.
However, despite the praise and strong feedback, loyal listeners of EST Gee voiced a slight nitpick regarding the album. Many fans expressed a desire for more solo tracks that showcase the rapper’s unique style and lyrical prowess, feeling that at times the featured artists overshadowed his own contributions. This indicates that while the collaborations added star power, fans are eager to hear more of what makes EST Gee distinctive as an artist.
As the album continues to gain traction, it will be interesting to see how EST Gee listens to this feedback. He has consistently demonstrated a knack for connecting with his audience, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him incorporate their suggestions into future projects. For now, I Aint Feeling You stands as a testament to his growth and artistry, setting the stage for what’s next in his evolving career.
