“This was written for American kids in college”

More Watsky More Watsky

All You Can Do is the third studio album from 27-year-old MC Watsky. Loaded with 16 lyrically-laden tracks and a playing time of nearly an hour, it’s bursting at the seams with Watsky’s rapid-fire brand of hip hop.

A former poetry slam champion, his rhymes often contain cleverly-worded jibes that demonstrate his quick wit. The eponymous album opener is catchy and brings early Lupe Fiasco to mind. The rest of the record, however, exudes such an overpowering “this was written for American kids in college” impression that it may isolate international listeners.
