Krispylife Kidd is a 30 year old rapper from Flint, Michigan who’s popularity in the local trap scene has been gradually increasing since 2019 going on to release a total of 13 mixtapes & 3 EPs all in that span of time. Icewear Vezzo even signed him to Iced Up Records during the pandemic & Lil Yachty had him featured on Michigan Boy Boat. Now I’d start with Krispylife 2 & The Art of Spice Talk trilogy if you wanna dive into Krispylife’s music but since Vezzo put out his Quality Control debut Live from the 6 at the beginning of the month, I was interested in hearing that Krispy had released his 4th EP.
The opener “Bam Got Me Stuttering” gets Juice rolling with pianos & hi-hats declaring this to be a mass whoopin’ whereas “1 Time” talks about not having to many friends & the ones he does have stay tweakin’ being on nonsense over a cloudy instrumental. “Trapped Too Much” featuring Clean Up Man finds the 2 getting on their Detroit trap shit & Clean Up Man’s verse doesn’t really do much for me truthfully that is until “Back in the Basement” gets back on track works in bells & hi-hats talking about how he finna do something dangerous.
YSR Gramz’ feature on “Who at the Door?” isn’t any better than the previous guest performance despite the bell-inflicted Detroit trap beat & the idea of doing the shit that some of these dudes be rappin’ & “What You On” instrumentally gives me a Bay Area vibe impressively clapping back at those who can’t beef with him because their money ain’t long. “On the Spiritual Side” however concludes the EP with a slick Detroit trap cut flexing that his Chakra shining.
It can seem kinda corny with the title & artwork paying homage to the iconic 2Pac film of the same name & other artists have done that on previous projects in the past. Case in point: Soulja Boy. But Krispylife been got the Juice when it comes to artists in the local trap scene & continues to keep up with Vez for real. Regardless of not being head over heels for the 2 features, there’s no cappin’ on Krispy’s passionate delivery during the 17 & a half minute experience.
Score: 3.5/5
