Posthumous project ‘SKINS’ should play well to the XXXTENTACION base, but as an album, it’s ‘undercooked’ as opposed to being ‘well done.’

The late Lil Peep returns with a compelling single, “Cry Alone,” appearing on his posthumously released second LP, ‘Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2.’

‘Piano & a Microphone 1983’ shows Prince in a more creative, intimate, and rawer setting. His brilliance and musicianship are indisputable.

While “Falling Down” does an excellent job of reminiscing back to the strengths of the late Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION, it lacks in both depth and structure.

A stunning piano-accompanied interpretation of the spiritual “Mary Don’t Weep” provides further support for the absolute genius of the late, great Prince.

Lil Peep has passed on, but his spirit lives on his posthumous single, “4 Gold Chains.” He’s assisted by Clams Casino who produces the record.
