Errol Eats Everything is a strong self-titled album carrying 17 loaded and unflinching tracks that have their legacy, commitment, style, and passion as an artist. With the world of music constantly evolving and boundaries being stretched to their limits, Errol Eats Everything is a force that is more than just good sound and spitfire rap—it is a collection of stories that demand to be felt and known. The artist has managed to deliver a powerhouse project through the production of Furious Evans, which made this collection fierce, authentic, and deeply relatable, not only classified as songs but also as a courageous movement for systematic oppression for the Black Community, amongst others.
It starts with a strong opener called “The Inauguration,” using the excerpts of a skit that sets the tone for the project because of its commentary. It is a potent introduction for the whole album, with a mix of defiance, urgency, and anger in its delivery. The production for this is sharp and focused through a furious blend of beats, strong instrumentation, and the delivery of lines that immediately capture the attention of the listeners.
‘Kingdom’ follows strongly with its explosive combination of hard-hitting beats and twang of guitar, which sets an undeniable energy that is direct and unapologetic when it comes to attacking the oppression and colonialism of the system through historical references and the artist’s resolve.
Now, with a smooth and classic hip-hop feel infused with a soulful vibe, NRG comes in. The lyrics focus heavily on personal narratives about the artist’s life—love, family bonds, and the whole complexities of life. This song is a tribute—powerful yet smooth—that carries the weight and strength of one’s spirit and memory. It is packed with energy, real-life stories of struggle, love that persists, and relatable.
The title track comes with its darker theme, converting the whole album’s vibe as it explores themes of self-indulgence and reckless moves into a romantic relationship. The artist’s delivery is potent; his line delivery captures the complicated emotions of someone who’s in a relationship without any care for commitment. It is a song that criticizes love, and the toxic behaviors that it somehow carries are as complex as we are as human beings.
With “Fly Girl,” the synths, beats, and strong rap line gave the overall groovy and cinematic feel of the track. Just like on every track in this collection, the high quality of writing shines through, but this time, it tells the story of his success along with the tales of his ambition and the betrayals and love that he had experienced. Along the whole progression of the track, the interesting combination of pipes and hip-hop influences creates an enthralling vibe for the listeners to enjoy.
The final shift of vibe courses through with the track ‘Mind’ that goes with a more serious theme about racism, colonialism, and the artist’s take on resisting oppression. With its striking production and catchy melodies, along with the artist’s fiery flow, it creates a bold statement for the whole track. It is a packed piece that critically talks about the societal injustices that were recorded in the historical books. It is a track about affirmation of one’s worth and powerful resistance that would make you feel uncomfortable if you didn’t want to hear the truth that is usually underestimated and overlooked through time.
To complete this whole collection, you must also listen to equally great quality tracks “Everything,” “Ballads of the Brutes,” “Beyond Yonder,” “Creases,” and “Be Out! “Automatic Traumatic,” “Don’t Matter None,” “Stand Your Ground,” “Round N Round,” “Eye Said What Eye Said,” and “Grateful” are also featured on this project, so give it a listen!
