Babyface Ray – “Unfuckwitable 2” review

Detroit, Michigan rapper, songwriter & actor Babyface Ray returning for his 6th mixtape. Starting out over a decade ago by joining the Team Eastside collective, he has since gone on to drop 5 mixtapes as well as 5 EPs & a well received debut within the last several years before turning heads worldwide & becoming one of the 2 biggest up-&-comers in the city next to Babytron, both of whom eventually landed spots in the 2022 XXL Freshman Class. Coming off Mob along with Summer’s Mine & The Kid That Did, a sequel to Unfuckwitable after the 2-disc Codeine Cowboy only seemed right.

“Love for Me” featuring Babyface produced by LulRose opens up talking about wearing his heart on his sleeve & coming from the streets whereas “Nothing” let’s all these lil muhfuckas know everything they’re doing doesn’t mean a thing to him. “Nigel Sylvester” featuring Veeze finds the pair luxuriously getting in their Detroit trap bag together for a few minutes prior to “Jiffy Mix” brings a cloudier atmosphere to the table talking about whipping up product.

Meanwhile on “Start This Over Again”, we have Face advising to mix the lemons life hands you with some lean leading into “My Thoughts 6” giving the world another look at what’s going on in his head. “Call Me Back” smoothens things out with a spacey pop rap tune telling this woman to hit Face’s line since he can’t get a hold of her just before “Ghetto Symphony” featuring Peezy links up to talk about their experiences of living like gangstas out in the Motor City.

“I’d Rather Be the Truth” samples “I’d Rather Be With You” by Bootsy Collins for an authenticity ode while “When I Call” featuring 42 Dugg sticks to the Detroit sound making way for both of them to trade verses with each other. “Endless” talks about wanting money since he’s a vegan & not wanting to partake in any beef others would like to drum up while “FR Williams” continues the 2nd half of the tape explaining to his son that he can’t come to his school because of the commotion it’ll cause.

Lil Yee’s appearance during “Lights Off” doesn’t really impress me a whole lot despite the cloudy trap beat & the romantic subject matter but once “Ok Then” talks about his belief of the hate he gets stemming from making this shit look easy & his paper being taller than wedding cake since he’s married to the money, “Chinese V” featuring Babyfxce E joins forces for a moderate Detroit/Flint trap crossover tossing the mic back-&-forth with 1 another.

“Ghetto Symphony 2” featuring Poppa winds down the last few moments of Unfuckwitable 2 talking about giving it your best & moving out of section 8 while “Fuck Rap” claps back at everyone who’s bitten his style & getting fed up with a bunch of lames overcrowding the industry over a tana instrumental. “Bon Voyage” sends off the tape talking about no amount of money would make him switch up & insuring $100K on the chain he has around his neck.

The original Unfuckwitable was the first time I ever reviewed Babyface Ray & a lot has changed in the 5 going on 6 years since that EP came out, going from one of the Detroit sound’s hottest up-&-comers when his mentor was incarcerated to a XXL Freshman & a key player in that particular style of trap music Lando Bando controversially said was “dying” recently. You’re getting calmly observational subject matter than Codeine Cowboy & it was cool to hear LulRose handling nearly a quarter of the production.

Score: 3.5/5

SOB x RBE – “From the Land” review

Vallejo, California trio SOB x RBE consisting of Slimmy B, Yhung T.O. & DaBoii reuniting for their 4th studio LP. Catching wind of them in 2018 when “Paramedic!” became a personal highlight for me on the soundtrack for the near perfect Marvel film Black Panther, they quickly followed this up by releasing their first 2 albums with EMPIRE Distribution entitled GANGIN’ & GANGIN’ 2 even if both of them were incredibly average. Their 3rd extended play Family Not a Group produced by Hit-Boy under Def Jam Recordings to this day stands as my favorite thing they’ve done, reuniting 7 years after Strictly Only Brothers to drop From the Land.

The intro begins the group’s comeback talking about muhfuckas still being broke as they were when they initially split up whereas the lead single “10 Summers” reminds us exactly how long they’ve been doing this shit for. The title track talks about uppin’ B’s & throwin’ 3’s in what they call the City of Opportunity prior to the 3rd & final single “Someone” admitting to getting caught up in the field at night totin’ their rifles & looking for their enemies when searching for their soulmates.

“SOB Only” asks who can they call whenever either of them are alone & need somebody, fuckin’ with each other because the rest are bitches leading into “Her Loss” featuring Lil Bean & Lil Yee sampling “F.A.S. (Fine As Shit)” by Shelby Ruger talking about turning other hoes up. “Rock n Roll” instrumentally goes for a Mobb vibe keeping a Glock on them when they make money until “Honeypack” flips “Stay with Me” by DeBarge asking women to be theirs.

As for “Need It”, we have all 3 of them continuing the romantic themes incorporating some finger snaps & an airy backdrop accompanying them while “Clockwork” talks about showing muhfuckas how their Glocks work. “Red Eye” tropically assuring their partners that they don’t have to be shy & after “Birthday” talks about the type of women they need when they make their trip around the sun, the closer “What Came With It” ends From the Land breaking down everything that comes with their territory.

Many including myself didn’t think this day would ever come but now that it has, From the Land ranks amongst my biggest disappointments of 2026 & could go down as the weakest album in SOB x RBE’s entire discography. I’m very happy to hear DaBoii alongside Slimmy B & Yhung T.O. getting back together after focusing on their solo careers for the past 7 years although the production is nowhere near as exciting as Family Not a Group’s was.

Score: 2/5

Mozzy – “BMX” review

Sacramento, California emcee Mozzy back for his 5th extended play. Becoming a fan in the summer of 2017 off his debut 1 Up Top Akh & he went on to be featured on the soundtrack for Black Panther only 6 months later & drop 6 more full-lengths through his EMPIRE-backed Mozzy Records prior to Memphis veteran Yo Gotti landing him a contract with Collective Music Group/Interscope Records. His major label debut Survivor’s Guilt was more poignant than what Mozzy had done previously & Children of the Slums exemplified growth in his rap career & personal life, although Brash Dummies became a letdown. Last time I reviewed him was when some Intrusive Thoughts were revealed, enlisting Mr. Green to fully produce BMX.

The intro “Poppin’” kicks things off with this soulful beat talking about a conversation being cute if it doesn’t regard thousands of dollars whereas “Never Get Enough” takes the symphonic boom bap route instrumentally suggesting to give it all here. “Get Back” continues the sampling of soul music talks about having a couple bands on deck & after the crooning “Be Bool” tells a homie of his to chill, “Do the Business” ends the EP admitting he handles the work side of things.

Some of Mozzy’s output for the past year & a half hasn’t really caught my interest if I have to be truthful, so hearing Mr. Green was fully producing BMX raised my expectations & I’m firmly adamant of the possibly that it could become his greatest EP. The soulful boom bap production is a breath of fresh air compared to the trap/nervous sounds were used to hearing from him & that makes more than enough room to deliver 8 & a half minutes of hunger. Would be remised if there are some concerns of whether or not 60% of it was AI generated.

Score: 3.5/5

Anderson .Paak & Cordae – “Heavy is the Head” review

Oxnard, California rapper, singer/songwriter, producer, drummer & actor Anderson .Paak and Suitland, Maryland rapper & singer/songwriter Cordae joining forces for a new collaborative studio LP. Both of whom have already crossed paths on the widely praised singles “R.N.P (Rich N***a Problems)”& “2 10s” as well as establishing themselves individually over the years, but have finally decided to elevate their chemistry having EMPIRE Distribution & Mass Appeal Records distribute Heavy is the Crown through both artists’ own labels Apeshit Inc. & Hi Level Productions.

“58th Floor” kicks things off with the pair trading verses back-&-forth each other over a boom bap instrumental from J. Cole like they’re having a normal phone conversation whereas “Airbender” goes for a symphonic trap vibe for 88 seconds talking about running with the best or getting left behind like the rest of the losers. “I’m On” finds the pair getting boastful over a darker FNZ beat while “A Good Day” samples “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers & “It’s Like That” by Mariah Carey for a decent lead single themed around gratitude.

Meanwhile on “You’re Mine”, we have .Paak & Cordae over a funky 9th Wonder instrumental expressing their frustration regarding a woman they met at 3 who now has a child being treated poorly while “Days Go By” begins the 2nd half looking back at when they used to watch the time flying past them as kids. “Crown” treads the chipmunk soul waters thanks to Conductor Williams so both of them can talk about being musical royalty while “Days Like This” explains why the give God the praise they do.

“Karma Tax” winds down the last leg of the album explaining that having to pay inevitable the cost of predestination while “Helpless” talks about Cordae’s mom siding with an ex after a breakup & .Paak showing up to his child’s birthday party drunk. “Godfather II” wraps up Heavy is the Head with this orchestral boom bap outro Swizz Beatz cooked up spitting hardcore verses directed at anyone who wants to step up against them in a battle.

The split reception of Heavy is the Head’s announcement was understandable considering Anderson .Paak hasn’t put out a solo effort in almost 7 years, but I think those who enjoy his crossovers with Cordae will get a lot out of this full-length some have been clamoring for. I love that they got some other notable names involved with the production outside of Cole who all play their own roles in maintaining the east/west coast artists’ 1 of a kind chemistry & taking it a step further in refusing to have any guests joining them.

Score: 4/5

Lucki – “Last Laugh” review

Here we have the 8th mixtape from Chicago, Illinois rapper & occasional producer Lucki. Beginning to turn heads in the summer of 2013 when he released his debut mixtape Alternative Trap to critical acclaim, he would later go on to give his fans 6 more tapes & a dozen EPs with the last one being the F1LTHY-produced Wake Up Lucki a week before my 25th birthday in December 2021. The full-length debut Flawless Like Me saw Lucki finding his style & the sophomore effort s*x mon*y dr*gs was the most I enjoyed Tune’s music in a while, coming off Gemini as well as Daysb4bad* & dr*gs r bad having the Last Laugh.

“what it is” incorporates some 808s to open up the tape talking about no longer putting sad songs over thots leading into “all wock” going for a syrupy trap vibe instrumentally discussing his love for lean. My favorite track here easily goes to the Flawless Like Me outtake “60 mgs” talking about touring, his drug use & unpleasant relationship experiences just before the runner up “overseas” cloudily admits the fame hasn’t resolved his internal conflicts.

Moving on from there, “replica’s n capper’s” talks about how these muhfuckas be actors & that nobody can touch him as long as he feels like they don’t love him while the cloudy “high together” ends the 1st half detailing a relationship that’s being kept low-key. “psycho truck” kicks off the 2nd leg talking about spending money right when he gets up & raising his prices if his heart gets broken while “nun like y’all” flexes that he’s wealthier now than he’s ever been in his life.

“total” boasts that he has a bitch so bad, she’ll do a number on ya & the inability of sleeping because of a group of individuals waiting for him while “okay, copy!” energetically talks about putting his heart in this only to receive payback in return. “super brazy” includes a really great line in the middle of Tune’s verse where he says “Money ain’t rеaler than God but money’ll make n****s treat you like Him” until “knew what it was” finishes the Last Laugh talks about getting love & doing drugs everywhere he goes.

Now that he’s no longer signed to EMPIRE Distribution, the next phase of LUCKI’s career under Interscope Records gets preluded by digging up 12 grails that’ll simultaneously impress those who’ve never heard Tune’s music until now & the Day 1s who’ve stuck around from the beginning who’ll remember hearing these previously unreleased tracks being previewed regardless of some idiot in Interscope labelmate Playboi Carti’s entourage stabbing him at ComplexCon at the beginning of the month.

Rio da Yung O.G. – “The World is Yours” review

M.I.N.E. Entertainment founder Rio da Yung O.G. straight outta Flint, Michigan back for a sophomore effort. Breaking through the local trap scene during the latter portion of the previous decade under the mentorship of Peezy signing to #Boyz Entertainment in tandem with EMPIRE Distribution, he has since put out his last 9 EPs as well as a full-length debut album & a handful of collaborative projects under his belt all over the duration of 7 years. Rio Circa 2020 was a solid EP celebrating his 30th birthday but coming off Rio Free & F.L.I.NT. (Feel Like I’m Not Through), he wants everyone to know The World is Yours.

“Be Like Me” sets the tone of what’s to come with this Flint trap intro talking about everyone else wanting to be inside of his shoes whereas “Superstar” featuring Veeze finds the pair over a Detroit tap instrumental depicting gangsta rap imagery in their own distinctive fashions. “Lemme Guess” makes a number of assumptions ranging from a woman getting sexually involved with another guy to helping a couple get rich while “Laced Blunts” featuring Trippie Redd poses the question of whether one’s slime or not.

F1LTHY of Working on Dying gets behind the boards for one of my favorite tracks here “Lost My Voice” flexing that he’s talked so much shit to there point where his voice gave out while “Canal St.” discusses having nothing but blue strips on him. “Easter Pink” featuring Rylo Rodriguez links up so they can decently talk about the lean in their cups while “100% Alcohol” vents over a woman getting drunk off some Mexican shit asking all sorts of stupid questions.

“Button Up” featuring RMC Mike reminds the world of what makes them amongst Flint’s most beloved duos spitting straight bars without the need of a hook while “Milwaukee Bucks” produced by Danny G was another highlight talking about chasing the cheese despite not being a snitch. “Finna Drop (Tour)” hits the midway point of the album remaining hood despite him leaving Flint years ago while “Rocks Off” featuring Judah Weston teams up so they can decent get sexual.

YN Jay appears on “New York Minute” running it back with F1LTHY boasting of being the wealthiest to ever come out of their city while “Work Different” warns that getting on his bad side would be stupid as fuck. “Crooked Elbow” featuring the current 2-time WWE United States Champion Trick Williams’ manager Lil Yachty & Tierra Whack finds all 3 of them getting hardcore while “Peach Nehi” over some pianos & bells talking about dudes being sweeter than licorice.

“Kinda Anxious” talks about how he smells like a scald weighing a brick while “Not the Best Liar” admits that he isn’t the greatest at lying. “Get It Back (Zoom Meeting)” chops up a vocal sample continuing to depict the gangsta lifestyle while “Who Did the Body?” featuring Monaleo talks about applying pressure. “Douchebag” makes a clear distinction of being a boss instead of someone contemptible while “Okay wit Dat” talks about never being broke as long as his phone’s functioning.

This guy’s steadily been on the most prolific run of his whole career ever since coming home a few years back & The World is Yours keeps Rio da Yung O.G.’s consistency streak alive recording a majority of it in the middle of an ongoing tour in promotion for the very album capturing his grind & artistic evolution in the middle of keeping the unfiltered style of lyricism he’s become known for as nasty as he’d prefer it to alongside a respectable cast of big names joining him.

Score: 3.5/5

Jay Worthy – “Generation P” review

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada born albeit Compton, California raised emcee Jay Worthy showing some love to Parliament-Funkadelic with his 6th mixtape. Coming on my radar in 2017 after The Alchemist produced his debut EP Fantasy Island from top to bottom, he would go onto drop 5 more EPs & a fantastic collaborative effort with Larry June called 2 P’z in a Pod even though initial plans of putting it out through Griselda Records fell through for whatever reason. Harry Fraud produced You Take the Credit, We’ll Take the Check & DJ Muggs did What They Hittin’ 4 to significant acclaim, but the Roc Marciano-produced Nothing Bigger Than the Program was still good despite having too many features & the DāM-FunK produced Magic Hour improved on that as did The Tonite Show 2 produced by DJ Fresh. Coming off his double solo debut Once Upon a Time last fall, he’s taking it upon himself to shine a light on Generation P.

After the “Holly Wants to Go” intro, the 2nd single “Knee Deep” featuring WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg kicks things off with a g-funk opener talking about both of them being freaky whereas the 3rd & final single “P of the Week” featuring Larry June finds the pair on their playa shit. The lead single “Atomic P” tells us the story of nasty street dogs who happen to be famous while “1 Nation” featuring The Game & YG on the remix flips the Funkadelic track of the same name seeing nothing other than bankroll.

“Oh I” goes for a soulfully jazzy direction thanks to Terrace Martin asking this person who never learns from their mistakes how they’re comin’ & goin’ just before “Allegiance” looks back at idolizing O.G.s when he was a kid. “Adolescent” featuring Curren$y talks about making it after choosing their own paths but once “Chasers” featuring 03 Greedo discusses making flower children smile, “What It P Like?” featuring Aceyalone & Del the Funky Homosapien preceding the “Holly Wants to Leave” outro talks about having class.

P-funk’s forefather George Clinton narrating Generation P to me is only the bow on top of the present because what really makes this such a lovely tape for me is the performances from both Jay Worthy himself & the multitude of west coast veterans joining him for a half hour celebration of the very style of funk music that subsequently birthed the west coast’s g-funk era in the early 90s, which the production strictly caters to rather than containing various different sounds.

Score: 3.5/5

Fat Joe – “Organized Rhyme” review

The Bronx, New York emcee, songwriter & actor Fat Joe back for his 12th studio LP. A member of D.I.T.C. & the Terror Squad, his first 3 albums Represent, J.O.E. (Jealous Ones Envy) & Don Cartagena are considered by many to be the best in his discography. However, much of his output since then has been either hit or miss from the underrated The Elephant in the Room to the horrendous J.O.S.E. 2 (Jealous Ones Still Envy 2). Cool & Dre produced the What Would Big Do? EP few years back & that was the most I’ve enjoyed Joey Crack’s music in a while, so them producing Organized Rhyme had me knowing I’d like it more than The World Changed on Me.

After the “Narcos” intro, “2 Plots” opens up on some soulful shit talking about never losing whereas “The Aroma” featuring Jadakiss & Stove God Cook$ finds the trio on some mobster shit having the ability to smell the product off the coast & referencing the late WWE Hall of Famer Muhammad Ali. After the “Coach Mike Brown” interlude, “Victory Lap (Him)” featuring Jadakiss & Yung Miami samples “Victory” by Puff Daddy & the late Notorious B.I.G. to get celebratory while “Back It Up” comes through with a mediocre strip club ode.

“Heavy Price to Pay (Chef’s Kiss)” co-produced by Mike Dean incorporates more sampling chops talking about the money coming with a tax while “Dead or Alive” featuring Remy Ma boasts top 5 status although the auto-tuned hook wasn’t good. “Not Goin’” produced by STREETRUNNER talks about not fallin’ for bullshit & after “Set of Keys” featuring Pusha T gets on some coke shit, “Feelin’ a Way” discusses having the world in his palms. “They Wanna Know” lastly ends Organized Rhyme answering some questions people have had.

Seems like Cool & Dre heard what many including myself had to say regarding them producing over half of The World Changed on Me because them handling Organized Rhyme’s beats gives us some of the most enjoyable music Fat Joe has made in years & that shouldn’t be a surprise considering their previous output in recent memory. The list of guests has been minimized to a respectably brief number, the production hits harder & Joey Crack takes it back to his roots for a little over a half hour.

Score: 4/5

Busta Rhymes – “Dillagence II” review

This is the long-delayed 12th studio LP from Brooklyn, New York emcee, songwriter, producer & actor Busta Rhymes. A member of the Leaders of the New School, he would go on to turn heads in the spring of ‘92 off the strength of his verse on “Scenario” off of A Tribe Called Quest’s flawless sophomore effort The Low End Theory. The dragon would see greater success as a solo artist with full-lengths like The Coming, When Disaster Strikes…, E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front, Anarchy, Genesis & The Big Bang. However when E.L.E. 2 (Extinction Level Event 2): The Wrath of God dropped Devil’s Night 2020, it would find Busta returning to form considering the mixed to subpar reception of B.O.M.B.S. (Back On My Bullshit) & the panned Year of the Dragon backed by Cash Money Records. Blockbusta preluded by The Fuse is Lit were both treated to mixed-to-negative responses, looking to redeem himself with Dillagence II.

After the “Ma Dukes Speak Again” intro, “How the Boss Will Deliver” opens up with a ferocious 81 second freestyle preceding “Entry” featuring La Reezy joining forces over a boom bap instrumental laughing off the dummies going up against them. The lead single “Spazzz” co-produced by Black Milk & Kev Brown splits itself in 3 different sections for more hardcore penmanship while “Back Pain, Chest Pain, Head Pain” climbs another mountain in the midst of traumatizing people.

“Royalty” featuring Cie & Trillian finds the trio talking about there never being another version of either of them over a colorful boom bap beat just before the subdued “This Woman” featuring a hook from the late D’Angelo takes a more romantic approach conceptually & does it without sounding forced. “Shoo” returns to the boom bap tellin’ all these wack rappers they straight up need to get the fuck out the culture leading into the soulfully jazzy “Drugs” solely produced by Karriem Riggins likens his music to that of an addictive substance.

After the “Story of the Old Man” interlude, “Run ‘Em Down” gets the 2nd half going reminding the world who he is while “Lay Down” featuring T3 has him & Busta in their energetic hardcore bag together. “Wait 4 U” featuring Big Sean & Honey Bxby gets back on the pop rap tip although it’s one of the weaker tracks in the few exploring that style while “Kingpin (Knock Ya Head Off) featuring Anderson .Paak & Ludacris necessarily turns the aggressiveness back up.

“How You Want It” winds down the final act of Dillagence II making sure everything remains raw both lyrically & instrumentally while “Love & War” featuring Talib Kweli freestyles over “I Must Love You” by Guilty Simpson off his 2008 debut Ode to the Ghetto. The 2nd & final single “Talk Shit”featuring Lil Wayne samples “I Know You Got Soul”by Bobby Byrd featuring James Brown for a superior “Nirvana (Hello)” remix while “What We Got in Common” featuring Common preceding the “Ma Dukes & J Dilla’s Closing Word” outro wraps it all up with a 6 & a half minute closer.

Confirming the rumors of J Dilla giving Busta Rhymes over 300 beats prior to his passing, I’m happy he makes up for the excessive commercialization that made Blockbusta so disappointing & his sequel to the Dillagence mixtape would be placed above it’s predecessor for the best in the series in addition to being a step in the right direction for him like E.L.E. 2 (Extinction Level Event 2): The Wrath of God was 6 years earlier. He’s not trying too hard to appeal to a younger crowd like the previous album did, having a more consistent guest list joining him to bring their A-game over Dilla production.

Score: 4/5

Payroll Giovanni – “M.O.B. (Mind my Own Business)” review

Detroit, Michigan rapper Payroll Giovanni self-producing his 15th studio LP. Notable for being a part of the Doughboyz Cashout collective, he also released over a dozen solo albums with the most notable being Big Bossin’ as well as Big Bossin’ 2 & Another Day, Another Dollar all fully produced by Cardo. Last time I covered him was when he self-produced Have Money, Have Heart a couple years ago & that was the most I’ve enjoyed his music since Giovanni’s Way, which didn’t wane any anticipation I had for M.O.B. (Mind my Own Business).

The title track opens up with some otherworldly synthesizers talking about leaving any conversation that doesn’t involve money whereas the only single “Puppies” recalls a situation occurring a long time ago where he tried to help someone only for said person to foolishly try robbing him. “No” talks about being up more these days after staying down for so long declining those who want something outta him while the west coast-tinged “Locked In” maintains his focus.

“Cash Tall” moves on from there embracing the Detroit sound to discuss keeping his circle small & his money in large amounts while the Mobb-influenced “Enough” ends the 1st leg of M.O.B. (Mind my Own Business) about having his share of days where he wasn’t making as much money as he would’ve hoped to. “Rollie wit Baguettes” gets the 2nd half going incorporating more synths talking about what happens when listening to Payroll’s music just before “On the Flo” breaks down going from the streets to riches.

The song “Point of View” talks about his perspective always being on a woman he’s romantically involved with, encouraging her to hop in his whip asking whether she wants to know anything or do something while “Bosses in the Clouds” discusses staying prayed up handling his own business. “New Levels” though spends M.O.B. (Mind my Own Business)’s final minutes talking about being in the season of his life where he can’t settle.

Getting sick of producer/artist agreements & paying lawyer fees, Payroll Giovanni had all the right reasons to solely create M.O.B. (Mind my Own Business) & I can certainly see myself coming back to it more than Hustle Muzik or If Not Me Then Who?. His production’s gotten better since 2024 & hearing it will prelude another full-length the Detroit trap veteran’s preparing within the next coming months has me hoping he’ll continue capitalizing on his artistic deftness.

Score: 4/5
