In their annual year-end critics’ poll, The Seattle Times ranked Tomorrow’s New Villain as one of the very best Seattle albums of 2018, saying:

Producer and occasional rapper Sax G comes through with a cool collection of head-nodding beats, inviting guests like Navvi’s Kristin Henry to handle most of the vocals. Incorporating elements of soul and jazz, Sax’s productions often feel more East Coast than West — especially on “The Last Outlaw/8d8 Posse,” a rugged beat that could’ve scored a season’s worth of “106 & Park” Freestyle Fridays. Still, the results are savory enough to transcend area codes.
