Sadder Days Vol.1 BY RAHUL ANEESH
Sadder Days Vol.1 is the debut project from Las Vegas Hip Hop collective Sad Art Collective, here are my thoughts on each track of this project:

MY TIME FEAT. STRYTLLR & NEVOS TYLER: Strytllr has these smooth R&B style vocals and talks about his depression and wanting to “jump off the edge”, to find a better place.

DADDY FEAT. TANNA MARIE, JOEL THE UNICORN & LONGLIVEMOSI: This one features a lot of bold personality.
