Following a string of quickly evolving EPs that left off with 2019's
Hi, It's Me
,
Demidevil
is the first fully formed mixtape from genre-bending rapper/vocalist
Ashnikko
. The project's ten tracks nicely mix
's enormous personality and brazen confidence with infectious pop-trap production and hints of early-2000s nostalgia that range from subtle to overt. The mixtape starts strong with a trifecta of slickly produced anthems that put
's gift for hooks in full focus. "Daisy" and "Toxic" are similarly built with rapped verses that open up into huge and catchy sung choruses, and the pop angst of breakup song "Deal with It" orbits around a sample from
Kelis
' similarly themed 1999 song "Caught Out There."
Princess Nokia
contributes a verse to "Slumber Party" and
Grimes
sings a reverb-coated hook on the jittery "Cry." There are multiple lyrical references to
Britney Spears
and
Christina Aguilera
, and
takes the 2000s nostalgia even further by updating
Avril Lavigne
's ubiquitous alt-pop classic "Sk8er Boi" note for note on "L8r Boi," adding trap hi-hats and altering the lyrics to denounce a parasitic relationship. While several tracks are less than essential, the mixtape's best songs are powerful enough to make
the strongest showing of
's formidable skills and uncompromising energy to date. ~ Fred Thomas
