That being said since it’s Childish, every single word means more than one thing. It’s an ode to the life Childish lived and a musical precursor to his show “Atlanta”. He gives us insight to growing up in Atlanta talking about things like the best strip clubs on “U Don’t Have to Call” to “putting in work (on the corner)” on the track “Nextel Chirp”. I love that the entirety of STN MTN takes place in what is most likely a 35-second dream. STN MTN: The vocals on STN MTN talk about where Childish has been, as well as where he’s planning on going. The idea behind STN MTN is Childish as a kid having a dream that he makes it big and runs the Atlanta rap scene, which is what makes it that much more genuine. Once you experience STN MTN you go soul searching on Kauai, unwind, and get ya head straight.
STN MTN KAUAI TRACKLIST FULL
This is why the two combine together to form the full project. The instrumentals on Kauai (as theorized by myself for the last 5 years) are intended to do for you what Kauai did for Childish – unwind from the chaos of Stone Mountain. He still drops verses on Kauai, while also showing us his true vocal abilities on songs like “Sober” and “The Palisades”. Childish takes R&B and puts his Gambino twist on it. It’s beautiful, tranquil, a sweet escape from the suburbs of Atlanta some might say. Kauai : For those who haven’t seen photos of Kauai, google it and you’ll understand what this album sounds like. STN MTN instrumentals are nothing but bops… after all, when Childish gets hype on a track we all know what he’s capable of. Childish and his team of producers (him being one of them) take all of their individual influences and make some wild instrumentals with them. I love describing this portion of the project as “making it bounce like Spalding” because honestly these instrumentals are so addicting I’m taking breaks to dance around the house while writing this. The beats on STN MTN is a wicked collection of hard hitters. Childish takes the idea of Atlanta rap and runs with it. STN MTN: Based off of what I mentioned earlier, that the titles reflect the music on the albums we can assume an EP based off of an Atlanta Suburb is gonna be some hard shit. Since we’re dealing with two separate projects that come together imma format the review slightly differently today. The hard Atlanta rapper meets the deep and soulful Childish and makes for an album that “makes it bounce like Spalding” and then drops you “in a tent under the stars…” to sum it up in two lines off the full project. All together STN MTN/ Kauai shows us the two sides of Childish that are usually mixed on tracks. Kauai is based off a soul-searching mission to Kauai, Hawaii that ended with a super fresh R&BhasababywithHipHop type EP. Childish was born in Stone Mountain, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.


The names of the EP’s have a lot to do with the sounds that follow. Two completely different EP’s dropped within minutes of each other that when put together make Childish’s STN MTN/Kauai masterpiece. Today we’re gonna go back to 2014 when Childish dropped two EP’s, one titled STN MTN exclusively on Datpiff and the other as Kauai on all major streaming platforms.
