Album review: No Saints Loading by Manila Grey

Manila Grey

No Saints Loading

Chaos Club Digital

Score: C

When I discovered hip-hop duo Manila Grey, I was thrilled. As a Filipino-Canadian myself, it was nice to have a relation to an artist.

Their album, No Saints Loading, gave me the impression they are inspired by artists like Bryson Tiller. For me, unfortunately, this album lacks the individuality that would make me say, “Oh, Manila Grey is playing!’

I am proud of the duo for their growth, and I truly believe they are making steps towards the world of hip-hop. However, I feel they still need to work on what makes them unique and different compared to other trap musicians. Overall, they are still fairly new to the music scene, meaning they are still finding their flair.
