Fuego Base – “Tell My Momma I’m Still a Rapper” review

Hartford, Connecticut emcee Fuego Base kicking off 2026 with his 3rd extended play. Getting his start a few years ago off his debut EP Tell My Momma Imma Rapper, he would continue to build up his catalog by going on to drop another EP called Tell My Momma Imma Rapper Still & the Say Dat mixtape trilogy prior to Buffalo’s very own Benny the Butcher signed Fuego to Black Soprano Family Records. However, the Biggest Since Camby wants to Tell My Momma I’m Still a Rapper.

“I’m Still a Rapper” begins with a symphonically hardcore instrumental asking why he isn’t considered to be amongst people’s favorites whereas the trap-inflicted “Wish ‘Em Well” sends a message to anyone who hates him. “Another One” goes for a boom bap vibe talking about grinding all winter while the rap rock flavored “Doctorate” speaking of dealing with itchy fiends. “Black Sopranos” featuring Brillo & produced by Swizz Beatz finds the 2 decently repping B$F while “She Wanna” ends in the form of this soulful boom bap crossover themed around love.

It’ll already be 3 whole years since Fuego Base became the Biggest Since Camby in April & coming off Say Dat 4: Proof of What God Do a couple months ago, he continues another series of projects that he started prior to him getting his label deal & Tell My Momma I’m Still a Rapper gets ready for a sophomore effort. There are much lesser guest appearances compared to that previously mentioned tape, but the production & Fuego handling almost all the vocal performances are enough to make for some exciting moments to hold fans off until the next album.

Score: 3.5/5
