Bearing the brunt of playful jabs concerning his talent as a solo hitmaker,
French Montana sought to remind listeners that he's got the chops on
They Got Amnesia. While tracks like the hard-hitting "How You King?" and "Fraud" do a decent job at showcasing his New York City-honed flow, unfortunately, for
Montana's cause, the real draws on the album still include a famous friend or two. The guest roster is impressive, as always, pulling in superstars such as
John Legend,
Rick Ross,
Doja Cat,
Fabolous,
Saweetie, and
Ty Dolla $ign, who join younger emcees like
Lil Tjay,
Moneybagg Yo,
Coi Leray,
Fivio Foreign, and
Kodak Black across the nearly two-dozen tracks on this overly long effort. Highlights for the personalized playlists include the
Doja/
Saweetie track "Handstand," the
Ty Dolla/
Latto stripper anthem "Striptease," and the
Legend/
Ross joint "Touch the Sky." ~ Neil Z. Yeung
