![]() How long have you been sitting on that title? Limbo is a fitting name for an album coming out right now when we’re all in limbo, in a sense, due to the pandemic. Now he’s ready to explain his personal limbo - and why he believes he’s still stuck in it. Recorded over the past two years, Limbo is a time capsule of the feelings, experiences, and personal thoughts that, up until now, Aminé was hesitant to reveal. He’s now wiser, wearier, and eager to show people that despite having a gold album plaque under his belt and more than 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify around the world, he doesn’t actually have it all figured out. The following year, he shared an “LP/EP/Mixtape/Album” ONEPOINTFIVE this summer saw him branch out to acting with a small role on Insecure, which arose from his friendship with Issa Rae, who’d appeared in his 2017 “Spice Girl” video. After signing with Republic Records that same year, he released an equally cheery debut album, Good for You, in 2017. It’s also a large step for Aminé, born Adam Aminé Daniel, who first won teen hearts and ears by rapping about a “bad thang” that was “fine as hell” on his vibrant, charismatic debut single “ Caroline” in 2016. It’s from the viewpoint of new adulthood through a shattered window, cracked by failed relationships, realizations about money, and discoveries about happiness. These days, the 26-year-old rapper smokes to get away from the feelings at the center of Limbo, his long-awaited sophomore album. “It has really calmed down my anxiety and my paranoia.” “Once I accomplished the dream of becoming a musician, a lot of weight kind of came off of my shoulders, and I kind of just wanted to try it for the first time,” he says on a call from Los Angeles, a week before his new album was set to drop on August 7. A lot’s changed since then, including some of his reservations. Growing up he avoided status symbols, even smoking, unsure of what his self-control would be like as he worked frantically, and desperately, to make it out of Portland.
