This Thing Called Life

7.4

“August Alsina is a rapper in an R&B singer's body, more likely to sing about his harrowed past and the things he's done to keep food on the table for his family than some romantic tryst. On This Thing Called Life, he hangs hard onto the idea that salvation can be found through perseverance and belief, whether in a higher power or simply your own ability to get through the day.”
