Lyrical Lemonade, the brainchild of acclaimed video director Cole Bennett, has shot to unparalleled heights since its inception a decade a go as an internet blog. Now established as a multi-media company that visually showcases the best new and starring talent in US rap, Lyrical Lemonade has announced the exciting news that they will be releasing a debut album, All is Yellow, a complication project that features many of the biggest names in the genre it champions so ardently.

Famed for his distinctive visual style, over the past six months Bennett has released a series of video accompaniments for the teaser singles for the record. Five videos have been offered in total, with the final video release occurring this past Friday. The full album is poised to drop on 26th January – view the official tracklist here.

Ahead of the LP’s release, we’ve ranked the videos from one to five, taking both the sonics and the visuals into consideration.

Read our selections below…

Something of a homage to pop punk legends blink182’s track “I Miss You,” “Hello There” sees three veterans of the Soundcloud rap era, Corbin, Lil Tracy and Black Kray, join forces for an emotional and immersive cut. The performances are decent, although none of the three really stand out in terms of delivery or writing, whilst the track is somewhat disjointed structurally and lacks a climatic moment. Bennett’s visual direction is haunting, with gothic imagery, such as a reoccurring skeleton, a fun inclusion.

Can we talk about how bad a job Lil Durk does at pretending to play the guitar in this video? Come on Durk, sort it out. His performance bar that is strong though, impressing on the track’s first leg, before Kid Cudi joins the party. At first failing to captivate, Cudi does find his feet as the song progresses and offers up a solid finish. The visuals are perhaps the simplest of the five but are still intriguing, obscure and conceptual with the yellow curtain in the background. The spinning room effect that occurs later on is a nice touch too.

“Doomsday” is a moody effort with an excellent turn from Maryland rapper Cordae, and one of Juice WRLD’s best posthumous performances. The pair go back-to-back, flaunting great chemistry, atop a boom bap instrumental that credits Dr. Dre & Mel-Man. Bennett’s video is suitably chaotic, thematically dense and visually striking, switching between the faces of Cordae and a deep fake Juice WRLD as they exchange bars.

Arguably the most ambitious single both sonically and visually, “Fallout” is the artist crossover we didn’t know we needed. Gus Dapperton delivers one of his best ever hooks, Lil Yachty continues his progression with a solid showing, and Joey Bada$$ is a welcomed inclusion, his versatility on show as he brings a melodic verse and slick rapped outro alike. The video is theatrical and disorientating, meticulous in its craft as we’ve come to expect from Bennett. Perhaps a little overdramatised, but still an impressive and entertaining offering.

Dave might be the only UK feature on All Is Yellow, but he advertises the country’s rap scene emphatically all by himself. He bodies the sparse instrumental palette that leaves him plenty of room to paint upon, offering one of his best verses in years. Although outshone by his contemporary, Jack Harlow brings enough charming arrogance to maintain the track’s tone. The visuals are splendid – gorgeous cinematography with a slick B&W effect on all bar the consistent yellow that appears throughout all five visuals. A stellar offering from all involved!

All is Yellow is set for released on 26th January via Lyrical Lemonade.
