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’s from the viewpoint of new adulthood through a shattered window, cracked by failed relationships, realizations about money, and discoveries about happiness. 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. 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.Īfter signing with Republic Records that same year, he released an equally cheery debut album, Good for You, in 2017. 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. 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. Now he’s ready to explain his personal limbo - and why he believes he’s still stuck in it. 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.
What’s fucking crazy is I had it for about a year and a half - way before this pandemic, before everything. Personally, I’m not a fan of being on the nose of things, of the times, or of anything, really, ever, so the title just kind of worked out in our favor when it came to the timing. I personally chose the title for completely different reasons. The album feels, and sounds, like the musings of a person that’s stuck in more ways than one. It came from an actual feeling that I’ve had for a long time. I had a bunch of titles in mind for this project that I had drafted up and had written for like two years.
