LUCKI, “4 – U – City Girl”

LUCKI
“4 – U – City Girl”
Freewave 3 (out now, self-released)
The rising Chicago native’s new tape is a freewheeling, affecting ride through the psyche of a young man who is on the cusp of success beyond his wildest dreams but continues to be dogged by addiction and sorrow. And those feelings aren’t just expressed in his words. Lucki has this unique way of fully submerging his voice in the music, mirroring the way that those kind of issues can drag you down. The effect can be narcotic and disorienting at first, but the more you listen, the more you’ll find the flow and the more “Freewave 3” will reveal to you. You can write him off as another mumble rapper, but you shouldn’t.
