Ty Dolla $ign: 'girl music vol. 1' EP Review | Joe Gives Honest Review

TL;DR

The crew reviews Ty Dolla $ign's 6-song, 17-minute EP positively overall but debates whether Leon Thomas has surpassed him as a feature artist.

Key Points

• 1.- 'Girl Music Vol. 1' is a 6-song, 17-minute EP featuring R. Eley, Brandy, and Leon Thomas; the Brandy and Leon Thomas joints were highlighted as standouts.
• 2.- The Ronald Isley/R. Kelly sample on track one 'Nobody Has to Know' drew criticism for feeling 'lazy,' with multiple artists like Vado also using Ron Isley samples the same week.
• 3.- Leon Thomas, who is signed to Ty Dolla $ign's label, is now considered by the crew to have the same must-listen feature urgency that Ty Dolla $ign had around 2016–2017.
• 4.- 'Free TC' was cited as Ty Dolla $ign's best project and closest to his potential, but debate arose over whether his peak-era status compares to Leon Thomas's current momentum.
