Son of Sam is the fifth project by American hip hop recording artist Lucki and his second extended play; it was released on March 22, 2016.[1]
Lucki released the first song "Selful" in November 2015, but was soon deleted for unknown reasons. On December 18, 2015, Lucki released "Jigga 98" with only his verse.
Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork notes the apparent influence of recreational drugs on the music, calling the vocals "sedated and leisurely".[2]
Leor Galil, for Chicago Reader described "hazy, narcotized soundscapes", finding experimentation on "Jigga 98" and a more somber atmosphere on "Syrup Talk".[3]
Chris Mench of Complex described the album as "Eck$ spitting over hazy, haunting beats", finding a "dark appeal" in the release.[4]
