This is the 4th EP from West Orange, New Jersey recording artist, producer, audio engineer, media personality & streamer PlaqueBoyMax. Catching on to him at the beginning of the year after calling out DJ Akademiks for being a child groomer, he has since stayed busy by churning out 3 EPs in the quick amount of time he’s been in the spotlight. In light of signing with Field Trip Recordings & Capitol Records recently, he’s embarking on a trip to Atlanta taking on a DJ Khaled role curating the whole thing.

“nun” by Quavo decently starts with a horn-inflicted trap instrumental talking about running around the condo geeked whereas “Party” by ApolloRed1, tana & 1300SAINT unites the trio so they can open up more regarding on the way they’ve been living since their respective label deals. “oncam” by Flo Milli cloudily gets seductive for 105 seconds just before “meanstreet” by PlaqueBoyMax himself was a 5 Forever prelude that I find myself torn with.

Lazer Dim 700 gets his own track with “nodrank” talking about having his squad by his side in the booth holding a joint & some drank over a regalia beat while “007” by Hardrock produced by Internet Money Records in-house producer Synthetic talks about the racks continuously coming as well as going on a shopping spree as a result of that. “Glacier” by Quavo ends the Atlanta journey with a bubbly trap instrumental going beast as if he came from a zoo & telling the truth when he records.

Wasn’t too show how I was gonna come away feeling towards this EP since all 3 of the ones that came beforehand were welcome to mixed reception aside from the “meanstreet” track, it’s a pretty solid compilation EP giving a look at what Max has capable of doing as a curator. In terms of production, it’s prominently in the trap flywheel further pulling from cloud rap & rage tapping in with local artists who’re either already established or have been gaining traction recently.

Score: 3.5/5
