Though lil aaron’s sound is a mash-up of hip-hop, emo, indie pop, and rock music, the artist’s lyrics are almost singularly focused on an unrepentant hedonism. In songs like “Drugs'' and the blackbear-assisted “Escalade,” alcohol and a whole pharmacy of drugs are both methods of escape and gateways to nights of unbridled passion. There’s a definite nihilism to lil aaron’s rhymes, for sure, but his ability to occasionally admit regret for his overindulgences, like on “SUMMERTIME,” in which he confides, “Never been too good at letting go/But I just wanna let you know, I'm sorry,” reveals a genuine heart at the centre.
