“I LIKE HOW THIS MAKES ME FEEL,” the first EP by ibbi Too Vicious, is a sonic exploration that blends his signature mood-infused vocals and emotionally urgent lyrics with eclectic production. This four-track project showcases ibbi’s versatility as an artist, seeing him at his best in his short 3 year journey.

The EP opens with the title track, a record that sets the tone with its high energy production and hedonistic lyrics. ibbi’s delivery is both powerful and vulnerable, drawing listeners into his world from the very first note. This is followed by “FUCK THIS FUCK THAT,” a standout track that combines distorted vocals with a unique song structure, creating an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and forward thinking.

“LOST COUNT” takes a different turn, forcing the listener to slow down from the high-octane energy of the previous tracks. The acoustic production is matched by ibbi’s serenading vocals, making it a highlight of the EP. Although it differs in production style and energy from the rest of the EP, “LOST COUNT” still seamlessly flows into the project and aesthetic world that ibbi is creating. The minimalist production allows ibbi’s vocals to take center stage, and is one of his best vocal performances in his discography.

The EP closes with “11 RINGS,” a final explosion of energy for the listener. Braggadocios lyrics mixed with heavy hitting production and urgent delivery creates a sense of rush and adrenaline that only a select genre of music creates. The outro leaves the listener with just a faint guitar and empty space, seemingly giving the listener a few seconds to process the last 10 minutes or so of pure energy.

Overall, “I LIKE HOW THIS MAKES ME FEEL” is a testament to ibbi Too Vicious’s artistic growth and ability to push boundaries. The EP is a compelling journey through different moods and stories, making it a must-listen for fans of innovative and emotionally resonant music.
