With his Auto-Tuned voice and woofer-cracking bass, Manu Crook$ is a unique figure in Aussie hip-hop. Mood Forever has the power and authenticity to bridge Down Under and the Dirty South. Tracks like “Ridin’” and “Touchdown” are dashboard confessionals over wavy trap production. “Day Ones” and “Romeo” make his intentions more clear, detailing the spoils and conflict that come when you’re a rapper on the rise.
