Highway - Highway

By Howie Butler

Recent underground graduate Highway released his self-titled debut project through Victor Victor Worldwide in affiliation with Geffen Recordings. Highway's been in high demand, as he garnered an immense buzz through his introductory mixtapes that featured production from the likes of Xjay and jetsonmade.

Highway's vocals had originally fielded comparisons to Future and Kid Cudi, and while those comparisons still apply, he's carving out his lane vocally. As a rapper-producer, Highway's been able to build out the moody auras commonly heard across this project and his discography. This allows his performances to glide across the instrumentals, as seen in the standout songs "Someone" and "Take It All". The project is highly immersive and replayable, making it perfect for any setting. While its 26-minute runtime gives a small taste of what's to come shortly, it leaves listeners hungry for what's next from SeaTac's succeeding superstar.
