Aminé, having taken time to ride the wave of his 2018 project, ONEPOINTFIVE, with critical hits such as REEL IT IN and BLACKJACK, comes back harder than ever, and with more maturity and expertise to complement the confidence, smooth flow, and playful production that’s made Aminé the accomplished artist he is today.

Amine describes Limbo in similar fashion to his previous project, as a “sophmore-ish” album, filled with his hopes, fears, and experiences during what he also denotes as something of a “quarter-life crisis”.

Check out our five favorite tracks from this amazing project! 😈

Woodlawn

Woodlawn is the first track on the album and immediately captured our eyes with Aminé’s signature energy, riding the wave of the flute-led production with precision and lyrical creativity. In the song, the Portland artist reminisces about the times back in his neighborhood of Woodlawn. He also extends a shout out to Kobe Bryant, one of the world’s best basketball players, as well as a role model to many, including Aminé himself. Woodlawn is also dedicated to a recently incarcerated friend, according to Aminé, and he used the chorus of this track to detail his first time playing the song for his friend, who is seemingly named “Marc”.

Roots (ft. JID & Charlie Wilson)

Roots is the second track on the album and Aminé’s taps into his Turf and Dakota partner in crime, Charlie Wilson. The two decide to team up with Dreamville heavyweight, JID who delves masterfully into the conceptual aspect of this track’s theme, exploring the roots of these artists’ heritage. Roots is soon seen as an obvious juxtaposition of the literal definition of plant, though the “rooted” meanings of the track stay true, and the slow, yet deliberate production create a beautiful world for the three to thrive in.

Compensating (ft. Young Thug)

Compensating is the sixth track of the album and keeps the contemporary smooth, yet bouncy vibes of Can’t Decide, the latin-inspired track prior. The song finds both Aminé and Young Thug in endless pining over their past lovers. Whatever pushed these prior relationships to fail holds deep with these two artists, who are trying to find a way to “compensate” for their past shortcomings, while admitting their guilt and responsibilities in the matter. The song is upbeat and light-hearted and Amine and Thug dance up and down the T-Minus-led production.

Becky

Becky is a slow and introspective track speaking on topics like racism and the prejudices of dating a Caucasian woman as an African-American in America. This doesn’t just stem from the issues outside of his relationship, with his entourage discouraging him and looking down on him, or he friends throwing racist chiding remarks his way because of said relationship, but also the fact that he cannot relate to her on a personal level because she doesn’t know why she likes him in the first place. At the end of the track, Aminé decides the whole thing just isn’t worth a risk.

Fetus (ft. Injury Reserve)

Fetus is probably the deepest track on the album, featuring Injury Reserve, including the late Groggs, who passed earlier this year. Aminé and crew created a song for their future children, laying out their hopes and dreams, but also their fears of coming into parenthood, like how Amine is hoping his baby doesn’t inherit his father’s cholesterol, or Ritchie wondering if he could be even half of the father that Kobe Bryant “The Mamba”, was.

This is noted to be the first track to be released since the passing of Groggs.
