As results show, \u2018ITS BEEN AWFUL\u2019 feels like something that took years to craft based on the wide range of sounds he included. Simply put, this is bound to remembered as one of his most consistent albums, despite the lack of a true lead single.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dirty Words Freestyle\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B81j1qS58fg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Chris Brown \u2013 \u201cFallin\u201d ft Leon Thomas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the past decade, I\u2019ve gotten numb to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/remixdmagazine.com\/usher-chris-brown-raymond-joint-tour-surprise\/\">Chris Brown<\/a>\u2019s repetitive sound and noticeable lack of effort.
