On 'Young Dumb & Broke,' the mere concept of commitment seems so silly to him that he can't be bothered to enunciate the word, or maybe he just lost interest after the second syllable. There's not a whole lot of enthusiasm for revelry, dulled by substances, apathy, a combination of the two, or just the aspiration to look the part: 'I'm so faded off of all the things I've taken, and maybe I'm not really drunk, maybe I'm really good at faking.' There are points at which Robinson makes Frank Ocean sound like Teddy Pendergrass. 'American Teen' itself - hollowed-out late-'80s mall pop with a disco-funk bassline - is a youth anthem of shrugging aimlessness. He's in no particular rush, content to drift through life while accepting, and occasionally sort of celebrating, the present.

In that song, and through much of what fills out American Teen, his debut album, Robinson's not one to get worked up. Khalid Robinson made major commercial headway in early 2017 with 'Location,' a drowsy, teetering ballad the singer and songwriter seemed to deliver while lying on his bed, or maybe someone else's couch, eyes glued to his phone, just after waking up.

The smooth backing track reminds you of an old Ghostface slow cooker à la “All That I Got Is You.” During Teyana’s introductory part, Ghostface chimes in with complimentary “true” adlibs to give the K.T.S.E. She chose three of Wu’s very best in cameo spots: the legendary Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Raekwon. In fact, it could be argued that Teyana decision to go quality over quantity was advisable. I believe it was GZA that once said, “if the Wu-Tang Clan spent as much time recording as they played pool, they’d own a scroll a scroll taller than Mount Sinai.” Okay, I may have taken a few liberties in transcription. In making her announcement via Twitter, Teyana Taylor wasn’t exactly clear as to how many members would congregate on the alleged Wu record. There were at least a few hopeful fans holding out for an 8-man posse cut + Teyana, but that would hardly boost productivity.
