Atlanta, Georgia rapper & producer 9 Vicious back for his 7th extended play. Breaking out in 2024 off the single “U Fancy” despite releasing his debut tape Naz in 2020, he would go on to further introduce himself on B4SA & the full-length debut Studio Addict helped him gain more exposure to the point where Young Thug signed him to YSL Records after B4TM came out & Tumblr Music wasn’t that bad of a debut for the label other than “Clout Demons”. B4FN & For Nothing have both become the best things he’s made since the YSL deal, leaving when the Uy Scuti Bøyz consisting of diamond* & Tezzus signed. B4EM & Emotions were both welcomed to mixed reception, coming off the widely panned Sedition as well as LA NY ATL & Det Hot Shit to drop Christophe Decarnin.
“Still Trippin’” samples “Still Tippin’” by Mike Jones, Paul Wall & Slim Thug thanks to Patrick Garza boasting that he sold out Houston prior to the rage-inducing “Pimp” that R8 of Vanguard Music Group cooked up talking about making a couple Bloods kill each other. “Suck & Fuck” annoyingly gets freaky over a 406ahmad instrumental but after “Uppers & Downers” disses Anthony Fantano, “Isley Brothers” ends the EP talking about him & his girl getting what they want.
Originally set to come out yesterday to coincide with Tezzus’ latest EP Mømma Bøyz, you can throw Christophe Decarnin in the same pile as LA NY ATL & Det Hot Shit in terms of it being another mediocre prelude to both Life’s Beautiful & Sex Money Power arriving in 2027 filled with outtakes 9 Vicious has been sitting on for some time other than the exception of maybe the Fantano diss he most likely recorded when he gave Sedition a 0 a couple months ago.
Score: 3.5/5
