The first song “Lil Something for my Whodis,” is a chilled head-nodding jam that sees Suave employing a playful melodic flow. As the title suggests, it pays homage to his day ones and his hometown. This is followed by the moody synths on “Wi-Fi OG” where Suave flexes his lyrical muscles and uses numerous 90s hip-hop references that will make lovers of the culture smile. “Yellow Phantom” uses a cinematic texture comprising lush guitar licks and atmospheric pads underpinned by engaging storytelling while “High Strangeness” goes for a dark pop aesthetic. Here Suave delivers a laidback parallel-effects-laden performance ripe with off-kilter lyrics that dwell on the high life.

“Blue Briefcase” is underpinned by off-beat stream-of-consciousness rapping over a dynamic guitar-driven backdrop while the surreal synths on “Mint Tae (Over Ice)-Remix” raise the energy levels. The production on “Harlequin,” and “Ghost Train” are punchy and bring engaging musical elements together underpinned by Suave’s no-holds-barred raps. The title track “agriculture” uses a bright summery and atmospheric beat and sees Suave in his element. His off-kilter storytelling takes the cake but in my opinion, it’s just too short. Other interesting cuts include the scenic “Black SS El Camino” with its pop-rock-trap infused sounds, the playful summer vibes on “Gold Calf” and the moody psychedelic elements on “Cat Daddy.” This is similar in “86 Green Bronco,” a sitar-driven track laced with non sequitur and engaging references.

The last three tracks “Lost Duck,” “Heist Song” and “Loop 2” continue Suave’s multi-genre approach. The use of layered sounds with familiar tropes that work makes them well-crafted and while sometimes the lyrics sound haphazard, the tracks play their role in the full context of the album.

Overall agriculture, stands out for its risk-taking approach and musically it’s pleasing.
