"white rice déjà vu”
“The combination of Musiq Soulchild’s smooth vocals and Hit-Boy’s plush production makes their first collaborative album a sonic pleasure—even though Musiq’s lyrics at times dig deep into love’s darker corners. Musiq possesses one of Neo-soul’s most assured voices, which lends his plainspoken chronicles of love and lust an intimacy that gives this brief album an electric charge.”
Apple Music
“Ultimately, it’s all a riveting testament on what truly happens when opportunity, preparation, and a sprinkle of divine alignment collide.”

“Victims & Villains proves that the possibilities are endless when there’s chemistry between a producer and an artist. The album is cohesive, yet each track plays like an episode of an anthology series, where Soulchild narrates vignettes of love, relationships and everything in between. By the end of the 38-minute set, you’ll be eager for a second season from the singer and producer pair.”
