Ghais Guevara - Goyard Ibn Said (2025)
"Goyard Ibn Said" has been lauded for its ambitious narrative and complex production. Critics highlight Guevara's ability to craft a cohesive concept album that delves into themes of exploitation within the entertainment industry, particularly focusing on the commodification of Black artists. The album's two-act structure effectively contrasts the protagonist's rise to fame with the subsequent personal and systemic challenges faced. The production is described as a "wall-of-sound" that merges elements of trap, cloud rap, and classical music, creating a hypnotic and disorienting listening experience. Guevara's rapid-fire delivery and thought-provoking lyrics further enhance the album's impact, solidifying his place in the experimental hip-hop landscape.
