This is a brand new collaborative album between Lil Wayne & Rich the Kid. One is a icon from New Orleans who had the rap game in a chokehold during the mid/late 2000’s & the latter being a 1-hit wonder from Atlanta who most people remember for “New Freezer”. Only reason being because of Kendrick Lamar’s odd yet show-stealing feature on there. We’ve only heard the 2 on a couple songs together within the last couple years but with the 1-year anniversary of the Nobody’s Safe joint album with YoungBoy Never Broke Again coming next month, he & Weezy are uniting for Trust Fund Babies
“Feelin’ Like Tunechi” has a bit of a jangly instrumental to it with both of them talking about being GOATed (which only Wayne has the bragging rights for in my opinion) whereas the orchestral “Headlock” doesn’t even sound focused lyrically. Tay Keith’s hazy production on “Trust Fund” is a breath of fresh air as is the concept about going from rags to riches leading into “Admit It” works in some uptempo synths admitting being wrong & being done wrong.
Meanwhile on “Shh”, we get the reminder that money talks on top of a reversed loop just before the spacious “Big Boss” declares themselves as such. Murda Beatz’ nocturnal instrumental on “Still” is another relief as they talk about being the same reckless dudes while the song “Bleedin’” serves as a boring ode to being fucked up with the penultimate track “Buzzin’” with YG taking another jab at it albeit being slightly better. As for “Yeah Yeah”, it closes the album with annoying cadences & a spacious beat.
Beyond that, what else can I really say about this album other than the fact that it just sucks? Wayne’s verses are just ok by his standards, but I can’t say the same for Rich’s at all & there’s no real chemistry between them on here. On top of that, the production is astoundingly cut-rate.
Score: 1.5/5
