Grey Sheep

the take

When I went through $uicideboy$' discography back in 2021, "Grey Sheep EP" was one I never really did get into. It was decent initially, but I didn't understand why I didn't like it as much as other projects like "YUNGDEATHLILLIFE". In the years since, I finally began to understand why that is. A bulk of this EP has songs that start off kind of strong but end up faltering by the end. In some cases, it's the backing production. The beat drops get me hooked, but struggles to maintain my interest, mostly due to it being overall bland in comparison to previous releases. In other cases, it's due to both Ruby da Cherry and $crim. It's not so much their lyricism drags this down, but rather their vocal inflections not really matching up to the beat. It's probably just me, though. However, there are some amazing songs on here. "Everest" is one song that I didn't care much initially but appreciate now because it lowkey fits the aesthetic of the EP cover. The one thing that's remained constant between 2021 and 2025 for me is how fire "Second Coming" and "Oracle" is. If anything, these three songs help this project from being still being amazing, but I'd be lying if I said it's one of their memorable ones.
