Yung Fazo is a 19 year old up-&-coming recording artist from New York City notable for making waves in the plugg & rage subgenres of trap music by releasing a total of 2 EPs & a full-length debut studio album only halfway through the current decade. He dropped off a couplet of tracks last spring & granted it’s only been 9 months since, he’s back with a sophomore effort a little over 26 months after he broke down the internal conflict he was prominently portraying during the course of the last LP.
“B4U” kicks the door down with this rage-inducing opener produced by Ginseng telling his romantic interest exactly how much he adores her whereas “Ed Hardy” references the current TNA World Tag Team Champion in his 3rd reign & inaugural 4th Rope World Tag Team Champion Jeff Hardy of The Hardy Boyz. “Bang Bang” cautions to be careful if you ever step around his parts since he’ll let the chopper sing, but then “All in Motion” electronically switches up his flow to talk about ambition, heartbreak & self-discovery.
Moving on from there, “Bring It Back” works in some catchy synthesizers to discuss the woman he’s currently seeing being different & that he’s been fighting demons trying to move on while “Fuk Love” gets back on the hypertrap vibes pondering if the drugs are really fucking up his soul leading into “Moving On” telling his ex he doesn’t want to do her wrong.
“Me, Myself & I” tells a hoe that he’s gonna blow telling her that he wishes he could love except he’s off that drank while the synth-heavy “Psycho” talks about being insane after a girl that he was seeing observed his psychosis. “Run” throws it back to “Headlines” by Drake acknowledging that he knew he would make bands while “Geeked Up” brings back the rage talking about being geeked.
The penultimate track “Rip My Soul” begins the final moments of Yung Fazo’s full-length studio debut coming clean of the biggest mistake in his life being him giving his heart away being on the go as of late with n9ck & the closer “Kurt Cobain” takes it’s name after the iconic Nirvana frontman feeling exactly like him after a bitch has fucked him up leaving a couple scars after stabbing him in the back in the end.
Compared to his 2022 debut, I find myself gravitating more towards Fazo’s highly-anticipated successor than a lot of what I’ve heard from him until now. The production is heavily built around the rage sound & by the title taking its name from an abbreviation of his moniker, he lets listeners in as to who he is personally.
Score: 3.5/5
