Album Review: Dumbfoundead Makes a Feel Good Comeback

Last month, K-Town LA’s beloved resident rapper Dumbfoundead released his latest EP, Cafe Bleu, a follow up to last year’s Rocket Man and Foreigner EPs. Cafe Bleu EP is the rapper’s third release in the span of a year, an ambitious feat for any musician. In the new EP, Dumbfoundead dips into a fresh, new genre, expanding his sounds towards a previously unexplored territory. The EP, which is named after and inspired by an actual restaurant of the same name, is quite a contrast to the rapper’s previous work. In Cafe Bleu, Dumbfoundead opts for breezier, more laid-back sound, rather than his signature style of harder, high energy, and good times rap.

Dumbfoundead’s Cafe Bleu EP is a feel good piece with experimental sounds that stray away from what you would normally expect from the rapper. Known for his hard tracks and clever lyrics, the rapper has released many fan favorite tracks last year, including “Hyung,” “P.A.A.C. (Protect At All Cost),” “Every Last Drop,” and “Water.” However, Cafe Bleu proves to be a testament to the rapper's talent and versatility, showing his ability to evolve his style and music once again.
