The Outsiders

Imagination starts out with the intro titled “Cartoonz” with a message to keep an open mind since this is not your average album, but rather Kevin gives you a unique story about his life. The second track “IMAGINATION” which has a really smooth and chill beat tells a story about how anything is possible when you use your imagination the track is really smooth and is a great first track to the tape. The next track “Sarah” starts the love theme throughout the whole album. Sarah tells the love story of Kevin and Sarah which is a reoccurring tale through the album and it basically introduces you to how the two met, as well as the first feature coming from EaSy. The follow up track “Bicycle” which has a beat that I love and could see Peter, Bjorn & John singing over, “Bicycle” is a really good song, one of my favorite tracks of the album actually, that leads to “HURT”. “HURT” is not at all what I pictured, I envisioned a NIN/Johnny Cash type track of hurt which is a really dark/sad track but Kevin delivers a nice track with a good message, “Don’t get hurt” as well as a good hook telling all the listeners that he’s never dumbin’ down. “T3” is the next track which reminds me a lot of a Tyler, The Creator track with the whole narration as well as a Kevin talking to himself but just not as dark as most Tyler tracks. Kevin comes through with some good rhymes and a dope flow that goes great with the beat to really complete “T3”. “You Got It” is next with a really chill beat and overall track as well, you get a really calm vibe with this track. “The Perfect Date” follows and if anyone knows who K. Dot, aka Kendrick Lamar, is they would almost immediately know the beat as Kevin goes over his “She Needs Me” beat and makes it his own. Kevin goes on and tells the story of his idea of a perfect date and makes a really catchy song and good song that I could see a lot of people vibing to. “Fools Gold” might be one of Kevin’s more recognizable track and is the next track on the album. “Fools Gold” has a really unique beat that I love and a great back story as well as good combo coming from Kevin & EaSy. “Stay Together” tells the story of Kevin meeting a girl at a party and the following events; CJ The Genesis also joins Kevin and tells the story of a deceiving girl. “Stay Together” has a great hook that truly completes the song. “Stadium Status” tells the story of success and how Kevin is seeking, which I believe one day he’ll attain, with a great hook by Justus Clarke. “Star Chasing” seems to be the ASF song of the album featuring EaSy and Carmine is a song about long nights with your significant other and just watching stars. The last two tracks are “Planet Q” and “Boy Meets World”. Planet Q really has a spacely vibe and gives a deeper insight behind Kevin’s imagination and then Boy Meets World has a really calm vibe and is a great outro track to finish Imagination; Kevin & EaSy finish off the track strong and conclude a great debut album.

Ultimately the album is a really dope project from everything to the story Kevin is trying to portray to the listeners to the beat selection, overall it just makes this a really good debut album. Kevin really did a great job with it and he deserves to be proud after finishing this project. I’m really excited to see what the future has in store for Kevin and what’s ahead of him in his young career. - BasXMusic
