Buddah Bless is a 34 year old producer, songwriter & former rapper from Atlanta, Georgia who I began paying attention to in the late 2010s through his extensive collaborations with Quality Control Music when the label was at their prime. He would also go to produce for many other artists like the late Young Dolph or his cousin Key Glock & Megan Thee Stallion to name a few, following the footsteps of 808 Mafia co-founder TM88 a little over 2 months ago & kicking off a brand new series of albums by curating his very own solo debut.

“Same Soldier” by Hunxho & Skooly was a decent trap intro with both of them talking about remaining the same as they were when they finally made it out of poverty leading into “Owe Me” by Kodak Black being one of the latter’s better songs I’ve heard in a while speaking of controlling his anger & thumbin’ racks. “From the Trap” by Skooly & UFO Toon finds the pair talking about where they both come from while “I Feel Good” by 41 isn’t much better despite shifting towards a New York Drill sound.

I would’ve liked the single “See the World” a lot better if Bossman DLow was taken off of it since I don’t mind either Big Sean or 2 Chainz’ verses leading into “Toxic” by Big Fredo & Kodak Black taking a more raunchier approach topically than “Owe Me” do & Fredo’s verse was the weakest of them both honestly. “On Arrival” by Tre Loaded mediocrely talks about being the one to hop out the car & he isn’t even the driver while “Scared AF” by UFO Toon feels more off-the-cuff than his 1st appearance.

“Guinea Pig” by Smokepurpp was another song that I truthfully enjoyed more than others talking about being a big stepper while “Can’t Pretend” by Trinidad Jame$ dismisses the idea of playing it cool with weird hoes, corny A&Rs & these bitch ass dudes who have no money. “All She Got” by Skooly would be the best of the 3 contributions he makes personally talking about sex once more while “Buyers” surprisingly finishes the album with Buddah Bless himself rapping over his production suggesting he could retire off the money he made producing for other artists.

Sadly as much as I wanted to enjoy Buddah Bless the Streets because I’ve always considered him to be talented behind the boards, I found myself underwhelmed by a great majority of Buddah Bless’ full-length debut & it makes me hope that the next installment of installments depending on how long he plans to span this whole saga out will be much more enjoyable in my opinion. His beats aren’t the problem at all, it’s the inconsistency from the guests a great deal of the time if anything.

Score: 2/5
