A$AP Twelvyy is back with a vengeance on his latest album Kid$ Gotta Eat, a 15-track offering of intricate rhymes and varied production. Moreover, this is his first full-length project since 2020's Noon Yung, so it's been a really long time since we've heard from him in this capacity. Fortunately, Kid$ Gotta Eat contains a little bit of everything: drumless introspection, bass-heavy trap bangers, boom-bap-style throwbacks, and even some Jersey club-reminiscent cuts in there. In addition, there are a few songs here that pull heavily from should and R&B, whether thanks to its samples or the instrumentation itself.

As such, this album flows quite erratically from track to track, but each track still has the potential to sink you into it within seconds. Also, some smooth transitions between songs make the experience a little more easily digestible for those who want to stay on one speed. Overall, it's also a compelling collection of personal narratives, whether about ASAP Twelvyy's neighborhood, his career come-up, or his observations of his surroundings. While this is a tried and true formula for an established career's release, the New York MC still shows his hunger and writing ability on here. Elsewhere, he's still able to fit a banger quite well with varied flows and a confident delivery.
