EverybodyHatesChris by ChrisClay

The universe has its own way of throwing everything at you and expecting you to bounce back. Rapper ChrisClay bounces back by putting together a ten-song album all about the pressures and struggles that come with being Chris. The project begins with a rainy day, a somber track titled ‘Truthbetold’ featuring Matty Wood$, owning the theme of “Everybody Hates Chris”. The album is packed with features that raise the energy of each track and compliment Chris’ style. The young artist made details a priority during the album’s production. It hosts two interludes and the transitions between songs are clean, with very little pause between beats so you can listen continuously.

The project reaches its midpoint with ‘#FreeKrime’ featuring Young Jasper. The title is a possible shoutout to New York rapper Krime Life Ca$$. The tempo steadily slows from this point, but Chris still has some surprises up his sleeve. ‘Godzilla’ featuring Anwar has one of the more experimental flows, or whispers, from the album. It will be a hit or miss for some, but it brings personality to the project; it’s not all work and no fun. ChrisClay teams up with EyeKeem for the cool, soft-trap track ‘Forfeit’, he truly shows his versatility by switching effortlessly to this sub genre. The album comes to a close via his ‘Toshas Outro’ featuring Bad Day Dre and CrashJordy, an admission of love, or at least interest, in a girl. To tie it all together, ChrisClay ends the project with the iconic lyrics from the show the project is inspired by, “everybody hates Chris”.
