72 Reezy – “Slide or Get Slid On” review

New surprise mixtape from Detroit, Michigan underground trap musician, model & influencer 72 Reezy. Recording music when he was only 6 & becoming distinct in Detroit trap for his numerous flows, he caught the attention of the city’s biggest groups in recent memory the ShittyBoyz signed to Lando Bando’s own The Hip Hop Lab Records & became a member of their Dog $hit Militia collective. His debut extended play Drop $hit Militia had its moments, but hearing Danny G was fully producing Slide or Get Slid On & Shadow Wizard Money Gang hosting it raised my expectations significantly almost a week after Izzi Dame became the new NXT Women’s North American Champion.

“Whole Lotta Bullets” featuring VampViolence starts us off by having both of them decently trading the mic back-&-forth with each other whereas “Coffee Cups” picks things back up with a Detroit trap instrumental talking about carrying that exact amount of cough syrup on him similarly to a canteen, which has never been my thing personally. “Get Yo Roll On” includes a great bar towards the halfway point honoring the late Detroit icon Blade Icewood leading into “Militia Bidness” featuring Babytron representing the D$M.

As for “CatDog”, we have Danny G bringing some bells into the picture for Reezy to talk about his preference for bisexual women because he’s a dog while “Chill Damon” featuring LOM Rudy decently brings both of them together to trade verses with each other. I wasn’t head over heels for “Whole Chirp” featuring Pooh Chedda & Plymouth WAN either although I do like the beat, but “Win Slow” picks things back up using some wordplay involving the Warner Bros.-owned Family Matters series.

“Gooner” wraps up Slide or Get Slid On’s last moments boasting that he has more chains than one of hip hop’s greatest storytellers in Slick Rick while “Fast Food” featuring $kid puts a psychedelic spin to the Detroit sound although $kid’s appearance would have to be my 2nd favorite right behind Tron of course. “Bambu” finishes the tape hopping over a rattling bassline talking about his joint being filled with dank & hearing that everyone else has been rolling swishers.

I stand by the praise I’ve given Danny G in the past for his production on TR Dee’s 4th mixtape Crunch Time and $weet-T’s 3rd album $weet & Silent Dan. That said: Slide or Get Slid On wound up leaving me on the fence a lot like WTF Daniel!? did this last Halloween. There’s nothing wrong with Danny’s production since he & Jakesand are amongst my personal favorite producers within the modern Detroit trap scene, although the features leave little to be desired for me other than a couple of them & Reezy’s performances have improved.

Score: 3/5

72 Reezy – “Drop $hit Militia” review

72 Reezy is a 29 year old underground trap musician, model & influencer from Detroit, Michigan beginning to record music when he was only 6 & has become distinct in Detroit trap for his numerous flows. Garnering the attention of the city’s biggest groups in recent memory the ShittyBoyz, he would go on to become a member of their Dog $hit Militia collective signed to Lando Bando’s own The Hip Hop Lab Records & looks to drop his debut EP only a month alongside Beannskii’s sophomore effort Green Bean following MJPAID & Fordi’s own debut albums Paid Ponzi & Fordi Milligrams respectively.

“Thousandaire” hops over an ominous instrumental with some 808s flexing his bank account status being in the thousands whereas “GettinAtGang” talks about what he does whenever he’s not getting the paper. “Trenches News” featuring YBN Lil Bro fuses Detroit trap & dirty south bringing to you live from their hoods prior to “Cookin’ wit’ Kya” talking about people taking pictures with the same money.

To keep things rollin’, “Next Subject” goes for a psychedelic Detroit trap vibe boasting that he’s been getting money all his life with God as his witness while “Rack for Rack” featuring Babytron & Beannskii brings the D$M trio together trying to figure out who’s squad got the most bread stacked up. “Wish I Would” claps back at critics saying he sounds too much like Tron when they’re family & “3272” featuring 3200 Tre introduces us to a potential duo we could hear more of down the road.

“JBL” produced by Danny G lastly finishes up Drop $hit Militia by referencing the WWE Hall of Famer, former WWE Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, WWE United States Champion, 3-time WWE Tag Team Champion & 17-time WWE Hardcore Champion himself recently appearing in the Endeavor owned TKO Group Holdings division WWE’s newly acquired Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) subsidiary a few weeks ago.

There hasn’t really been a whole lot of music at this point from 72 where I could judge him, but Drop $hit Militia in being his first EP will come off as simply inoffensive to those familiar with the Detroit trap style & a good introduction to the Dog $hit Militia member. Production feels like something you’d hear on a Babytron project in the most polite way imaginable, only 1 guest misses the landing & Reezy feels ready to take over the game with his squad.

Score: 3.5/5
