STN MTN was packed with trap productions and gangsta-rap verses and features that gives evident homage to contemporary rap music.
This side of the project, which was given away for free, shows the raw side of the Atlanta rapper, a side which many have not registered due to his mainstream releases being not particularly of this taste.
The other side, the Kauai EP was available at a cost, with proceeds going to keeping Kauai, a small Hawaiian island, clean. This side features more singing and R&B influenced tracks, and opens with my favourite track from the project as a whole - 'Sober'.
With a Pharrell/Frank Ocean feel to the vocal performance, and an 80's tinge to the production, the track is an undeniable hit. With his Soundcloud page only featuring a 'rough' cut version, yet everything is held so perfectly in balance with each other, shows testament to Gambino's talent and abilities.
