ALBUM REVIEW ‘On the Rvn’ shines in vocal experimentation, collaboration by Nicholas Darell Contributing Writer

Atlanta rapper Young Thug, born Jeffery Lamar Williams, is one of the most intriguing figures in hip-hop, represent- ing a dichotomy of classic hip-hop appeal and the avant-garde. Young Thug’s eccen- tric vocals and lyrics combined with his unique, often androgynous person- al style have made him the subject of both acclaim and rejection in the hip-hop world. The rapper remains unfazed by his critics, however, continuing to evolve in intriguing ways throughout his dis- cography. With his latest project “On the Rvn,” Young Thug maintains the formu- la of experimentation and raw charisma that made “Jeffery” (2016) and “Beautiful Thugger Girls” (2017) such compelling projects. A six-track EP, “On the Rvn” con- tains some of Young Thug’s most exciting material yet but ultimately lacks the same intrigue as previous releases. The EP opens with title track “On the Rvn,” produced by longtime collaborator London On Da Track. Young Thug takes his time with the flow of each verse, glid- ing across the tropical-flavored beat. His performance is decidedly unmemorable, but the song remains an enjoyable start to the project. Next comes “Icey,” a more engaging song backed by some of Young Thug’s distinctly emotive singing. Most fascinating is the contrast between light- er lyrics like “Whoa, Demon Hellcat and I’m tearin’ up the streets/whoa, I got a gun and a Patek on me” and vocals that can’t help but convey passion. This same knack for melody carries over on “Climax,” featuring fellow Atlanta musician 6LACK. A clear standout, this cut would have fit perfectly with the coun- try-pop vibe of “Beautiful Thugger Girls.” “Climax” is written about a lost love, one who now transitions “from the front seats VIA 300 ENTERTAINMENT/ATL RECORDS The cover art for Young Thug’s newest album, ‘On the Rvn,’ is pictured. to the nosebleeds/that’s for actin’ like you don’t know me.” The song explores how chorus from Jaden Smith, but “Real In My duet.

Coming off their resounding 47–14 blowout of the Bates Bobcats in their annual Homecoming game, the Jumbos are looking like serious contenders for the NESCAC crown. They will look to con- tinue their strong start as they go on the road to the face the Bowdoin Polar Bears in Brunswick, Maine, who will be hosting their own Homecoming festivities. The Jumbos will head into Saturday’s game with a perfect 3–0 record. Tufts is accompanied by Amherst and Williams as the league’s remaining unde- feated teams. The Polar Bears, on the other hand, sport a 0–3 record and are coming off a difficult 24–14 loss at the hands of the Amherst Mammoths. Junior linebacker and co-captain Greg Holt maintained that the team cannot grow complacent, even after such a domi- nant start to the season. “There are always things we look to improve,” he said. “We come in to study film on Sundays, ready to work so that we can be better than the week before.
