Big Cezze – “Cezzerland” review

Detroit, Michigan rapper Big Cezze putting out her full-length studio debut under Lando Bando’s own EMPIRE Distribution imprint The Hip Hop Lab Records. Her debut single “Bitcoin” single came in 2019 & it wasn’t until the fall of 2021 when she put out her debut EP No More Breaks & looks to make the biggest waves of her career thus far by welcoming everyone to Cezzerland the week after former CZW World Jr. Heavyweight Champion, GCW World Tag Team Champion, 3-time IWGPジュニアタッグ王座, 新日本プロレス強い無差別級タッグ王座, ROH World Tag Team Champion, TNA X Division Champion & 3-time TNA World Tag Team Champion Alex Shelley became the new TNA World Champion at Against All Odds XII.

“Bestfriend” sets it off by brushing off any need for an introduction over a cloudy Detroit trap instrumental & being the same kids who grew up in the hood whereas “Toxic” blasts all the hoes running their mouths for not being on shit. “Strike a Pose” featuring Stanwill finds the 2 promising to fuck the city up if a bitch puts hands on them while “Boss” talks about the kind of man that she needs in her life.

We get some Bay Area influences seeping in during the halfway point “Heavy Likes” pressing bitches again now that she’s off probation & after “Southside” featuring J1Hunnit teaming up for a danceable Detroit trap collaboration portraying themes of sex, “Scottie Pippen” produced by Danny G & Jakesand gives a nod to the greatest basketball player of all-time Michael Jordan’s right-hand man during the 90s.

“Fuck You Better” featuring Prince Jefe begins the final minutes in Cezzerland talking about being in love with a stepped while “Whole Lotta Yeah” finds herself feeling like that nobody can fuck with the youngest female in the whole Detroit sound scene over some bells & 808s. The final song “Year Ago” featuring Jazmin Re’Nae caps off the LP with both of them lighting the Motor City up in flames.

Finally arriving almost 2 weeks from it’s initial release date earlier this month, Cezzerland invites anyone who happens to be new to Big Cezze’s music into her own world for 27 minutes pushing her artistic boundaries further than No More Breaks did. Whatever’s next for her, the production is a considerable improvement over that previous EP & the increased number of guests compliment her better than the sole appearance of Vae Vanilla merely 20 months ago.

Score: 3.5/5
