That is the seventh EP from New York Metropolis emcee BVNGS. Starting over a decade in the past off the power of her debut EP Not Accessible adopted up by 7 Dutches & a Candy Tea, Brown Women & Bubble Coats, Lula & Solely Crying As a result of I’m Drunk. She later caught the eye of amongst the underground’s most prolific artists in latest reminiscence Flee Lord, who briefly signed BVNGSY to Lord Mobb Music & put out her sixth EP LaQuisha within the spring of 2021. Solely 4 months later, I had the privilege of assembly her at a Catch 1 present in Los Angeles that Flee was headlining & was impressed by her set. 16 months following her full-length debut Mary Mack, she’s enlisting DJ M80 to host Twice a Day w/ Meals.
After the intro, the primary tune “Herald” reminds everybody how she acquired her moniker over some pianos & 808s whereas “Missed Name” takes the increase bap route instrumentally speaking about getting her roll on should you don’t reply her calls. “Huge Dipper” takes a rap rock method to the beat flexing that she’s too scorching to be so chilly & after a “Drug PSA”, “Nubuck” experiments with cloudy entice so she will be able to catch some Ws.
“one hundred and twenty fifth Sandman” returns to the increase bap asking God to forgive her for being so shitty whereas “Subconsciously Yours” drumlessly seems again at a breakup. “By no means Dawg” lusciously feels content material with bum bitches not dealing with this shit whereas the funky “Doomsday” talks about feeling drained due to the state of the world. “Vanish” goes a pattern drill route getting too lit & the drumless chipmunk soul outro “I Swear” finishes by speaking about conserving her head excessive.
Mary Mack was a stable return for BVNGS the summer season prior, however Twice a Day w/ Meals surpasses it by revisiting the distinct chemistry that made Brown Women & Bubble Coats such an entertainingly brief pay attention in 2019. We’re nonetheless getting the increase bap, entice & drumless manufacturing heard throughout BVNGSY’s debut album 16 months earlier besides there’s hints of rap rock & pattern drill thrown into the fold with the east coast lyricist sounding lots hungrier since she’s not on a label anymore.
