    This is a solid body of work. Who knew that Big Sean and Aiko would have such great chemistry? I love that Aiko ditched her spiritual and "good" girl vocals for a more "hood" girl persona. And the best thing about this EP is Big Sean's lyrics, especially on the track "Talk Show". I really hope they have more collaborations in the future because it's only up from here.

    I like the album a whole lot and collaborative they were on the album. Big Sean and Jhene Aiko should make another album! Favorite song is London Bridge!

    Easily album/EP of the year of 2016. This EP has some of the best music of all of 2016 an some of the best production of all time. If you are a Big Sean fan and A Jhene Aiko fan you will love this so much. To new comers... I recommend to listen to either these tracks first (London Bridge, Deja Vu, or Selfish). These tracks seem to attract to most music listeners... while the others IEasily album/EP of the year of 2016. This EP has some of the best music of all of 2016 an some of the best production of all time. If you are a Big Sean fan and A Jhene Aiko fan you will love this so much. To new comers... I recommend to listen to either these tracks first (London Bridge, Deja Vu, or Selfish). These tracks seem to attract to most music listeners... while the others I recommend to let them grow on you. If you just lost a relationship with someone you care about like A girlfriend... this will get you in your feelings and make you remember all the beautiful times you had with him/her. I recommend to give this a couple listens so you can truly appreciate this piece of art. Twenty88 easily the best album of the year.… Expand

    If you can get past some of the dumb lines and the often blunt nature of Big Sean's approach to seduction, there's enough solid, modern R&B here to satisfy those craving something a bit more direct than Drake, but it could have been so much more.

    This debut EP is a deeper, meatier experience than expected, going as far as to be a conceptual release focused on relationships.

    Sean and Aiko make for a convincing couple. But what makes Twenty88 such a compelling listen is the startling honesty and rawness it captures--even if it's just fantasy.
