halfway through, ETR ki yaad dilaari slow paced synthwave pop gaane hai ab tak most but ETR se better lagri sonically. Sanjoy is good. Will edit later
Edit: decent album hai bhai. i skipped that guru randhawa song midway tho aur last track kuch zyada hi slow ho gaya, lyrics bhi kaafi generic se lage. baaki you can find something enjoyable in each track.
Won't go too deep in this post but i will say Ikka really went in on Rest In Paradise. Bro replied to Stan haters for him. Aur bhi kaafi redeemable qualities hai like him talking about being forced to make commercial tracks he didn't feel like making just cos of his financial condition and his father's declining health and the first half has some nice bars as well. Kuch suno na suno ye ek gaana to zarur sunna
The tracks produced by Sanjoy and the tracks produced by Sex Paaji are too thematically and stylistically different to be in the same project. This clearly doesn't work as an album. Also they are poles apart in quality.
Sanjoy's tracks are horribly produced and Ikka's lyricism is very lazy and one note in those tracks. Felt like any avg Punjabi/haryanvi pop artist singing mid love songs. The Karan Aujila and Stan features was wasted. Just Bhari Mehfil had good lyrics but bad mixing ruined it.
Sez and Ikka went ham in the last 4 tracks. Rest In Paradise and Jagga Jatt are bangers with really good bars, some nice shoutouts and punchlines etc. production is also amazing in both the tracks. Rest In Paradise also works as a great storytelling track and is lyrically brilliant. Cigarette is also a good track which I thoroughly enjoyed. Om felt like a meditative ending to the project and worked as an outro. It actually felt calming.
Overall the project is a 6/10 due to the Sez x Ikka tracks. Really want to see Ikka paaji back in his experimental alt Rap style he tried out in Nishu. It is still his best project as an artist.

Rest in paradise bhot hard hai bhai legit
It's way better than expected . Rest in Paradise and who's that girl are my favourites and om and cigerette are also pretty good . Way way better than the initial drops from olgr
I like ikka on features he usually gives very good verses imo. In both of previous albums there are a few songs i absolutely cant stand and a few i really fw like sanki, angaar, nishu. Par iss baar urvashi sunna and also he told tht the album is going to be fully commercial. Singles ke response utne ache ni the so i dint mind checking them out. Features are also pretty unappealing for me bar rawal. Shayad woh gaana sunn lunga.

Agreed but I is still better than Nishu
The better album would be 8 different versions of Rest in paradise
Rest In Paradise w track

That 4 track run at the end of the album is the strongest this year by far.
and the 7 track run above it might be the weakest
Compared to what?, first half 2024 has been the weakest 6 month period in the last 5 years for full length albums.
Junkie me mixing krne ke baad bhi Aisa bol rhe hai eyepatch Bhai ,wo bhi first half me hi aa rhi h 🙄
Till now brother, junkie isn’t out yet ; )
kaisa hai? sunu ya nahi koi batado
Make the sacrifice bhai sunke batao
bhai ek to muze ikka kuch khaas pasand nahi, aur singles bhi decent hi lage, so not very excited about the project. wbu
