The album is likely Earl's [[NewSoundAlbum most experimental]], evolving the dark, melancholic atmospheres of his prior releases into a glitchier, more lo-fi sound.

The album does have a significant role in Earl's discography when compared to the releases that came before it. ''solace'' was his darkest work yet, extensively detailing the heaviest aspects of the recurring feelings of loneliness and depression that had influenced his musical direction throughout the 2010s. This album would find [[CreatorBreakdown similarly intense emotional context]] in the fact that Earl's father, poet Keorapetse Kgositsile, passed away at the start of 2018. He then sought to theme the album around the relationship between him and his father, with the emotional journey therein framing most of the album's tracks.

* DarkerAndEdgier: In a rather shocking way, ''Some Rap Songs'' is this to '''''all''''' of Earl’s [[NightmareFuel already-dark]] previous works, due to Earl’s CreatorBreakdown affecting the album’s production, making it an extremely personal experience for those who listen to it.
