This is the 3rd full-length studio LP from Charleston, South Carolina up-&-comer OsamaSon. Starting a few years ago, he would then start to pump out 3 EPs shortly after I’m da Man as well as Vengeance & Carnival respectively. He returned at the beginning of 2023 by dropping osamavrt, following it up this past spring in the form of slime & Bad Habits. Osama’s debut Osama Season & the follow-up Flex Musix increased his profile as did the 3vil Reflection collab EP with Glokk40Spaz last spring, but he’s now ready to Jumpout after some delays.
“Southside” gets the album rollin’ by talking about everyone being mad at all the racks he’s made in the past year & a half over these synth-horns from Ok whereas the quasi-rage inducing “Fool” celebrates all the wins that he’s continuing to experience. “GTFO Out the Room” tells everyone to clear out proving that he can very much rock out too while “Made Sum Plans” asks his girl to talk to him since he off that drank.
Meanwhile on “Break da News”, we have OsamaSon bombastically flexes that his shooters don’t ever miss leading into “Room 156” maintains the hypertrap vibes to talk about not knowing if you never try to go. The title track produced by gyro reminds everyone that he’s not a new artist since he’s been around for a few years at this point just before “Going Dumbo” talks about going stupid.
“She Needs a Ride” completes the first half of Jumpout boasting himself waking up stoned off that good weed while “New Tune” talks about hittin’ licks dressed up in an outfit that cost him approximately $300K. “Waffle House” stands up for nonbinary rights since his bitch “don’t by no pronouns”, but then “I Got the Fye” shows how turnt up he’s been these days.
The classy trap direction of “Insta” is something that I really found myself enjoying talking about a girl he met on the Meta Platforms-owned Instagram app coinciding with it’s founder Mark Zuckerberg showing us his true shtoile on Monday while “Frontin’” gets back on the rage beats addressing an individual who be cappin’ suggesting they ain’t got shit to hide. “Mufasa” reaches the encore of the LP feelin’ like The Lion King’s antagonist while “Ref” talks about having more stripes on his chest than a referee.
“The Whole World’s Free” captures the artist’s message of liberation & personal empowerment amid the complexities of relationships & material pursuits while “Round of Applause” encourages everyone to pull-up & have fun. “Logo” starts a brief deluxe run talking about being that muhfucka tryna get his stats bigger & the final bonus track “Luv” shows off the hundreds he has in the bank posted up in the 6.
Flex Musix marked a huge breakthrough in OsamaSon’s career & he’s making up for all the pushback 8 months after 3vil Reflection became the best collab EP that he or even Glokk40 have ever cooked up in their careers by decent continuing where he left off on Jumpout. The rage-heavy production isn’t exciting as it was 13 months ago, but Lil O himself takes his intense performances higher.
Score: 3/5
