The Return of the Raf Simons Raven - Platinum Falcon Vol. 1 EP Review

Last Week Oakland’s very own Guapdad 4000 released a small collection of previously released singles into one *cohesive* package: the Platinum Falcon Vol. 1 EP. Clocking in at 18 minutes with 6 tracks (5 of which had already been released over the past few months), this short collection is the first project that Guapdad has released this year, after 2019’s long-awaited Dior Deposit, being all over Dreamville’s ROTD3, and 2017’s Scamboy Color. With his most recent singles nicely bundled together now, it seems like this is a good time to catch up on any you may have missed.

With the humor of Zack Fox / Father sense of humor and the charisma of Vince Staples / Lil B, Guapdad 4000 has quickly made a name for him himself in hip-hop. ‘Platinum Falcon’ is probably one of the best songs to listen to in order to understand what the Bay Area native is all about. Like most Guapdad songs, it is a cleverly written bop featuring an original flow and many humorous bars. While ‘Greedy’ is a bit more aggressive than most tracks on the project, it isn’t until ‘Dolce and Gabbana Dalai Lama’ that the listener is given a rare intimate view of the California M.C. The new track from the collection, ’Trade Places with Them Jeans’ is a similar emotional and slow track with a bit more of an acoustic sound. 

There is not too much to say about these tracks that already hasn’t been said seeing as 5/6 tracks have already been released, but this is truly the time to dive into Guapdad 4000’s discography if you haven’t already. Synthesizing elements of Bay Area music with contemporary trap, hip-hop, and R&B, Guapdad will definitely be a great artist to watch over the next few years.
