Rockitneedspace slots neatly into a long line of MCs who don’t need to raise their voice to prove a point. It’s fitting that he’s inked a deal with the godfather of the movement, Earl Sweatshirt, under the Odd Future alum’s Tan Cressida imprint. On Next Day Air., produced entirely by SURF GANG, Rockitneedspace keeps his delivery matter-of-fact and beat selection consistent. These songs follow a formula, built around the LA rapper’s clever and colorful rhymes delivered in a near-monotone, over plugg production from rap’s most exciting crew of young producers. Take opener “factory reset.”, the lowercase title highlighting the nonchalance with which Rockit approaches the beat. Still, the internal rhyme scheme and precision with which he raps provide ample fireworks: “Hands down, I’m beating the price/Pen in the ink still wet, put it in rice/Reset, hola, bonjour/This factory Oakley, it’s not from the store.” Our Favorite Track: the Tan Cressida reunion on “Mr. Doubt,” which features Earl Sweatshirt and fellow labelmate Cletus Strap.
