Some albums feel like a shuffled playlist of songs cobbled together with no real arc. THERAPY, the latest from Premo Sounds—a rapper, DJ, and producer from Portland, Oregon, by way of Cambodia and now based in Vietnam—is the opposite. It’s a single, unbroken session of raw emotion, where Premo invites listeners to sit in the therapist’s chair as he works through grief, heartbreak, and old wounds.

Across 26 minutes and 10 tracks, THERAPY flows like a cinematic monologue that is equal parts journal entry and confession booth. The beats carry a serene melancholy and ethereal softness that contrasts with the heavy memories they hold. Love and drama weave through the verses, but it’s the flashes of long-buried trauma that give the record its weight.

Premo shifts seamlessly between rapping and spoken word, each mode adding to the sense of a real-time unraveling. The first half of the album spirals downward until the turning point comes on “PS2,” a breathless, urgent storytelling track with sharp beat switches. From there, a roster of guests—PAB70, DAT NHO, Bo Fleek, and 2MDIE—add new textures and perspectives, leading to the closer, “THE SUPLEX,” where lighter production and inspired delivery suggest Premo has finally glimpsed the light breaking through the clouds.

Therapy, in life or in art, is never linear. THERAPY doesn’t pretend to resolve every conflict, but it captures a moment in Premo’s healing that is marked by vulnerability and the kind of resilience that keeps him pressing forward.
