The melodic Alabama artist Clever has just burst onto the scene with his debut album Crazy featuring a star-studded line-up including Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Post Malone, and the late Juice WRLD.
As a debut album, Crazy is tone-setting for Clever. Consisting of 13 songs, each track on the album sends a different message and showcases a different complexion of Clever’s skills. In “Skittles,” the Alabama artist kicks back and delivers a rhythmic intro while he lets Lil Baby do what he does best and spit a smooth verse. But on “Rolls Royce,” Clever can be heard sparring with another crooning expert, Chris Brown. The entire album's entire tone remains consistent, though, no matter what all-star steps in to assist Clever.
Crazy feels somber, and the album cover reflects its content. It sounds like Clever is battling demons, but he’s winning. The previously released “Life’s A Mess” remix featuring Post Malone and Juice WRLD is reflective of this, feeling like a love song for the downtrodden grunge kids.
Prior to the release of Crazy, Clever shared the tracklist for the project in January. Not a common user of social media, the melancholy rapper has been sharing his excitement about the album coming out over the last few months.
