The Pope Love Letters by Mny_main
Mny_main once again showcases his creativity and versatility with the release of his commercial mixtape: The Pope Love Letters, the ten-track project has Mny_main rapping and harmonizing over a multitude of different beats and styles, effectively creating a unique sound that’s all his own. The mixtape marks the one-year anniversary of his debut album, Realpolitiik, and also continues with certain themes and mythos expressed within it, as witnessed in the tracks “In the Stash” and “21Lives”
Unlike with the album, The Pope Love Letter's has no feature artists whatsoever. Mny_main switches between spitting mellow rhymes on tracks like “Our Glass” to coming out the gate like a raging bull on hits like “No Feelings.” The unusual and thought-provoking metaphors with which Mny_main has become famously associated with are prevalent in this collection, especially on the track “A Peak Freestyle.” He appears to draw inspiration from artist like Drake or Bryson Tiller, as some of the beats he chooses to vocalize over, with the added use of auto-tune on certain tracks, are more Rap in nature.
What really stands out about this mixtape is the experimentation with different musical styles. Each song sounds a bit different than the last, with the second half of the project showing the most variation. “Die Hard” has a Chill Trap vibe that really shines against the harder beats in the first half. The short track “Woke" seeming to draw influence from J. Cole's “False Prophet”
With mixed reviews floating around, The Pope Love Letters is something that needs to be experienced first hand before placing judgment. Compared to Realpolitiik, Mny_main definitely went in a different route than what was probably expected of him, but the results are enjoyable nonetheless.
