    It’s an extremely catchy album with a few hits, a few misses, and a lot in between. My only criticism would be that it doesn’t show much range but Megan has so much potential and I can’t wait to see what she produces next.

    Good News is Megan's debut but it feels like it feels like she has been around for a while, with a few mixtapes under her belt. Good News presents the same fiery, confident , sensual and explicit Megan that we have gotten to know from her mixtapes. It is a fairly good record as she delivers her sex-positive raps, she unloads on her detractors and flaunts her Texas origins. Most of theGood News is Megan's debut but it feels like it feels like she has been around for a while, with a few mixtapes under her belt. Good News presents the same fiery, confident , sensual and explicit Megan that we have gotten to know from her mixtapes. It is a fairly good record as she delivers her sex-positive raps, she unloads on her detractors and flaunts her Texas origins. Most of the songs are of course about being good at sex and acquiring wealth which is in the same as her other releases. Sonically she offers some hard core hip hop beats which make for a good dance session or an evening drive. She invites DaBaby, City girls, Lil Dirk, SZA, Big Sean to deliver some epic collaborations. Not forgetting the great singles she released throughout the year such as Girls in the Hood and Savage. She also samples artists such as Jazmine Sullivan, Juvenile, Eazy-E AND B.I.G, and all the samples are really good. I just feel like the album did not need to be as long as it is, there are some songs which are lyrically and sonically very similar they did not need to all make the album, she could have combined them and made a bop. In my opinion its 17 track album with 12 or 13 great songs. Nonetheless its a very cohesive and fun body of work, her delivery is undeniably good and she will probably continue to dominate this lane of gangsta rap.… Expand

    Pretty solid for a debut but wish she would switch up her sound a little bit. Freaky Girls is a highlight for me.

    This project is completely ironic. Megan raps about feminism, black women, female empowerment, etc. Then, she calls lots of women h**s, b*tches and other insults. Why? Just, why?

    The crisp production makes this feel like a well-thought-out and intentional release, rather than a rushed cash-grab. However, it’s this poise that makes Good News exactly that: good. When held up to past releases like Tina Snow and Fever, Megan’s larger-than-life personality over the Dirty South production she is most familiar with is not showcased to its full potential.

    When Megan moves away from her standard lyrical fare, perpetuating her beef with Tory Lanez on opening track Shots Fired or penning the poppy tune Don’t Rock Me To Sleep, the results are some of the best moments on the album, and if these aspects of her style had been explored some more it could have made for a more diverse LP, but Good News is still chock-full of catchy hooks, stellar verses and feisty attitude.

    “Good News” proves Megan’s prodigious talent, but it also suggests that, with a bit more digging, this gem could emit an even more prismatic shine.
