about

To classify Ambition as your typical college mixtape would be to do a disservice to the obvious effort that was put behind each of the 13 songs on the album. Generally speaking the first half of the album is a mix of R&B and Lupe Fiasco, the tones and beats behind the opening tracks are the underpinnings of lounge hip-hop. Not to suggest that it lacks intensity, rather that it’s trying to be actual music rather than 13 tracks of continuous subwoofer exercises. For anyone familiar with Rick Ross’ song series Maybach Music the first 6 tracks very well could have been versions of Maybach Music that never made the album.
The second half of the tape plays out with more energy and “club banging” that you can come to expect from a token mixtape, that being said it doesn’t lack the effort and creativity that the first half of the album had, just that it’s going in a different direction. Songs like “Swagger High” “Lights Camera Action” and “The Greatest” seem the most likely to hit an apartment party near you with high energy Black Eye Peas-Usher-N.E.R.D like beats. I can almost hear Pharrell letting the minor chords fly in the background.
Overall the album shows a serious amount of time and effort, as always there is room for musical and lyrical growth but considering the album is free to download and done in-between football practice, class, and travel it is hard to give this anything short of 4 out of 5 stars in the mixtape grading scale. If anything you can tell that PE is having fun doing what they do, that is always a plus.
