   Reviewing the New Khalid Album

   Few artists connected with a generation as much as Khalid did in the mid 2010s. With his vulnerable, real, and modern lyrical content and signature vocal delivery on iconic tracks like “American Teen” and “Young, Dumb, & Broke”, millions of listeners have joined the ranks of fandom. With somewhat of a stylistic shift, Khalid has released his newest project: after the sun goes down. J. Mac & Ryder break down the album on this week’s episode.
