Wake Up Lucki is a collaborative album by Chicago rapper Lucki and producer F1lthy, released on December 3, 2021 via Empire. It consists of 12 tracks and runs approximately 27 minutes.[1][2]
Background and recording
Lucki enlisted F1lthy of Working on Dying to produce the entire project.[3][4]
Lucki’s vocal delivery throughout the recording leans into emotional detachment. F1lthy’s production uses "distinct" tread bass.[3][4]
Reception
Many reviews agreed that F1lthy’s beats are the strongest asset. Critics found the album cohesive and emotionally resonant, though some felt parts of it were too homogenous in tone.[2][3][5] Pitchfork gave it a 7.5/10, praising the synth-heavy, futuristic beats and Lucki’s diaristic style of lyricism that balances emotional numbness with vivid imagery.[3] Legends Will Never Die considered it one of Lucki’s stronger recent projects, praising tracks like "U.G.K." and "Busy Day" for blending psychedelic feel with strong emotional core.[4] Fantastic Hip Hop gave it ~5.7/10, complimenting the consistency of F1lthy’s production and noting that Lucki maintains mood across the tape, although some felt the vocal delivery became monotonous.[5]
