Introverted Intuition is the debut studio album by American singer and rapper Lance Skiiiwalker, released on October 18, 2016, through Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE).[1] It features guest appearances from Schoolboy Q and Michael Anthony. Skiiiwalker, who produced the album under the pseudonym Rocket, worked alongside Dave Free, Sounwave, Tae Beast, DJ Dahi, and Frank Dukes for a majority of the album's production.

Background

On May 20, 2016, Lance Skiiiwalker signed a recording contract with Top Dawg Entertainment, and announced that he was working on his debut album Introverted Intuition.[2] The album's lead single, "Speed", was release alongside his signing.[3] "Could It Be", the second single from the album, was released on May 27.[4] A third single, "All Stops", was released on August 5.[5]

Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith, the chief executive officer of TDE, revealed on October 14, 2016, that Introverted Intuition would be released on October 18.[6] The day before its release, Skiiiwalker unveiled the album's tracklist and released the music video for "Lover's Lane".[7]

Critical reception

Introverted Intuition received generally mixed reviews from music critics. Aaron McKrell of HipHopDX described the album as a "flawed but intriguing foray into abstract soul over a futuristic soundscape." He commended Skiiiwalker's vulnerability, but found the four skits of him portraying a disc jockey to be "both obnoxious and unoriginal." He also criticized his voice distortion techniques; noting that they are a "hit or miss."[8]

PopMatters' Marshall Gu, in a negative review, called Introverted Intuition the "worst album released by a TDE artist so far." He claims that throughout the "nondescript" production, Skiiiwalker "doesn’t have a personality. He begs a few girls for a girl’s number because I think he’s confused pathetic-ness for vulnerability and confused creepiness for personality." Gu also criticized Skiiiwalker's comments in an interview with DJBooth about not wanting to sound similar to other artists, writing: "Sorry to burst your bubble, but this sounds like the exact same thing everyone’s been pushing for a while now in the corners of hip hop and alternative R&B. It’s the narcotic haze of Isaiah Rashad's The Sun's Tirade without the benefit of a Kendrick Lamar feature, the lugubriousness of I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside without the benefit of a prodigy behind the microphone, Travis Scott without the connections, the Weeknd without the capacity to sing. and all of Drake's affiliates without the co-sign."[9]
