I commend his grind and hustle but he needs a label behind him.

WTF is a "quasi-cousin?" Like...he calls himself their cousin because they are also Black?

This is the best thing he's done since Somebody Else with Nicki.

I’d like to say the single cover for the title track feels more reflective of the album title, but then again it seems from the same photo shoot as the “Drowning” cover, so I guess it’s best the album artwork looks different.

I love Drowning but DS does nothing for me; hope the album is good.

Oh wow, three videos already. I wonder if he possibly filmed one for each song?

This album is really good. And the title track sounds great in the context of it. He's now independent, right? The production is pretty damn good. This is on the same level as "Go!" for me and could possibly be his best album to date.

Drowning Too Many Options Mirror Gold Plates Good Times What You Started Care for You Goes Like That
Those are my favorites but I honestly enjoyed the album start to finish. Turning Point and GO! were both solid projects but this is his most mature and cohesive work to date. His voice is pristine, the lyrics are strong (with real hooks and melodies, not just "vibes") and the production is on trend without being super trendy. I’m always critical of indie R&B albums because artists tend to sell themselves short and dilute the quality of their content for the sake of their budget but Mario delivered his best work yet.

"Goes Like That" needs to be pushed after "Drowning" gets a proper push.
