Larry June – “Until Night Comes” review

This is the 12th LP from Vallejo, California emcee Larry June. Someone who’s been quite busy for almost 2 decades his last 11 studio efforts as well as 14 EPs & 7 mixtapes with the highlights of his ever-growing discography including the Lex Luger-produced Trap Larry, the Cardo-produced Cruise USA & it’s sequel Into the Late Night, the Harry Fraud-produced Keep Going & more recently the mobb music-influenced Jay Worthy collab effort 2 P’z in a Pod, The Alchemist-produced The Great Escape & The Night Shift. His previous album Doing it for Me just came 11 months ago & he’s looking to link back up with Cardo for him to produce Until Night Comes.

After the “Free Uncle Sherm 6” intro, the first song “50’s in the City” kicks it all off showing everybody the way he does shit in the bay over a slick Mobb instrumental whereas “Black Man” kinda leans heavier towards g-funk in terms of sound givin’ a fuck less of what others gotta say regarding him. “Meet Me on Harbor” featuring Black C finds the 2 smoothly doing whatever the fuck they be wanting to do having everything others desire, but then we get a sequel to “7 Mile Bike Ride” off Orange Pint.

“Organic Free Range Chicken” finds himself catching Ws & mobbin’ on all these hoes but after the “Cardo’s Groove” interlude, “Ya Feel Me” featuring E-40 turns the Mobb influences up even higher talkin’ about feelin’ good with a couple big stacks on ‘em. “Gotta Be Love” goes for a nocturnal g-funk vibe to the beat tellin’ his girl how fly she is just before “On the Unda” portrays himself as a pimp suggesting this chick to slip out of store shoes for hoe shoes.

To get the final act of Until Night Comes rollin’, “100 Bags” featuring Don Toliver gets together for a psychedelic pop rap cut responding to their partners asking where they’ve been by saying they’ve been around while “Canadian Snow” soulfully boasts of him speaking like a boss & walking like a kingpin. “Still Game Related” featuring HBK & Payroll Giovanni finds the trio talking about doing what others can’t while the title track featuring Richie Rich & Wiz Khalifawraps it all up with a Mobb outro.

Standing by that Doing it for Me wasn’t up to par with either The Great Escape or The Night Shift, I did however come to enjoy it as much as the Life is Beautiful collaborative effort Larry June did with 2 Chainz produced by The Alchemist back in February & cuts above the last solo effort almost 2 years ago. Cardo’s production get back in the Mobb/trap fusions that made his previous material with Larry stick out & making slight improvements regarding the choice of compared to guests Until Night Comes’ predecessor.

Score: 4.5/5

Ramirez – “Tha Playa$ Manual II” review

Here is the 5th studio LP from San Francisco, California emcee Ramirez. Emerging as a longtime affiliate of the $uicideboy$, he would go on to co-found to the New Orleans-based indie label G*59 Record$ with them & build himself as an artist by dropping 8 mixtapes, his last dozen EPs & 4 full-lengths. Tha Playa$ Manual was his best LP yet with it’s g-funk production from Rocci & is looks to mark a new chapter with the sequel on his newly formed EMPIRE Distribution imprint Velvet Note Records over a week after G*59 announced his departure to go do his own thing.

After the “Velvet Note Lounge” skit, the first song “Hollow Tips” was a synth-funk intro & skittering hi-hats introducing y’all to his heater if you even try to make a move on him whereas the jazzy “Cut Throat Game” advises to get back up no matter how hard you fall. “Playas Need Love” fuses both g-funk & jazz to talk about that very subject in hand, but then the 2nd single “True Playas” suggests not to trip because fortune favored the strong putting a synth-heavy feel on the Mobb sound.

“I’m Not Yo Daddy” fuses trap & synth-funk together suggesting you come take a ride with him just before “Boulevard Nights” featuring Jason Joshua & Rocci matches a seducing instrumental that wears it’s jazz influences more during the 2nd half with all 3 of them sharing a melodic delivery. After the “Playing a Fool” skit, “Money Don’t Stop for You” jazzily sings of wanting nothing more to waste his time with a woman he’d fall for while “Shake Junt Hoes”proved to be a Memphis inspired final single.

Meanwhile on “Pushin’ on Some Paper”, we have the Lil Homewrecker talking about pimpin’ being second nature to him & making it look easy while the lead single “Chain Swangin’” turns the Mobb influences back up explaining that he’s still the same playa with a deadly weapon on him. “Scrapin’ tha Corner” throws back to the phonk undertones of Tha Playa$ Manual to talk about being on some larger shit while “Never Listen” offers invest in oneself as his best advice.

“Don’t Lose Hope” gets back on the g-funk/synth-funk crossovers wanting to hold his romantic interest tight because he wants her to know she’ll always be safe around him in any possible situation & “Cadillac Burnin’” featuring Rocci ahead of the “Goodbye & Goodnight” outro properly finishing Ramirez’ debut of Velvet Note with a captivating duet feeling reminiscent of something you’d hear during the 70s & I mean that as a compliment instead of implying any indication of it being outdated.

Tha Playa$ Manual has been regarded by many in the G*59 fandom to be the crown jewel of the label’s entire discography & I’d have to say it’s aged astonishingly well as a modern g-funk classic since it came out down the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns. Tha Playa$ Manual II as a sequel raises his artistic stakes even higher than I would’ve thought. There are a few songs where he takes a break from delivering bars of the gangsta life to favor towards sung vocals with on top of the best production he’s had in a few years culminating in elements of g-funk, Memphis rap, pop rap, jazz rap, synth-funk & Mobb music.

Score: 4.5/5

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

RMC Mike – “Like Mike” review

This is the 3rd studio LP from Flint, Michigan recording artist RMC Mike. Signing a joint deal with Rio da Yung O.G. & Peezy’s own labels M.I.N.E. Entertainment & #Boyz Entertainment alongside EMPIRE Distribution, his first couple EPs Rookie Season & Sophomore Season established himself as in the Detroit trap scene until his full-length studio debut Junior Season elevated it further. His last EP Ghetto Season was good & the sophomore effort Senior Season left me on the fence, coming off a trip to The 6 to brag that nobody can do it Like Mike.

“Devil’s Lake” opens with a Detroit trap intro with strings & bells giving his music career everything in his might whereas “Neat Freak” shows off some secondary Mobb influences to the instrumental detailing his lifestyle. “Duck Hunting” featuring 3200 Tre finds both M.I.N.E. signees teaming up to figure out what those who say they ain’t in for the money are really doing it for leading into YTB Fatt poppin’ out for the underwhelming gangsta rap collab “Drug Bust” despite the Jakesand beat.

Baby Money, Rio da Yung O.G., VonOff1700 & YN Jay all join Mike on the boastful single “Braggin’ Rights” although I can do without Von’s verse right in the middle of it just before “Chicken Box” produced by Danny G talks about not wanting to hear of the things you couldn’t have, wouldn’t have or shouldn’t have done. “Slam Cam” featuring Rio da Yung O.G. references WWE Hall of Famer, former 2-time WWE world champion, ECW World Television Champion, 6-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 5-time WWE Tag Team Champion, 4-time & the final WWE Hardcore Champion, TNA World Champion & TNA X Division Champion Rob Van Dam while “Keep It Honest” by admitting he feels alone even if he’s not the only one in the ride.

“Brody crazy with the chopper like he autistic” makes for one of the wildest bars ever during the last 30 seconds or so of “Authentic” wanting to talk business with anyone who has a plug prior to “Music Is Never Ending” creating a brand new acronym for the 1 of the 2 labels he’s signed to. “We the Ones” brings the bells back in the equation laughing off the wankstas who ain’t ever dropped a body except “Damn Baby” as a finisher felt like a mediocre look at his preference in women who get lit.

Wouldn’t have thought that we would get Like Mike this quickly after The 6 since it’s been a couple months tops, but I still consider it to be a worthy album & probably my favorite of Mike’s. Regardless if I prefer The World Famous D-Boy’s production on the most recent EP, there are some striking similarities both projects share with the biggest one being that there are only a couple guest performances I could do without. A key difference however is Mike speaking his truth the whole time rather than taking us around The 6.

Score: 3.5/5

3200 Tre – “Spin the Block” review

This is the 13th EP from Lansing, Michigan rapper 3200 Tre. Introducing himself on wax during the fall of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic had completely shut the world down, he has since built up his last dozen EPs along with the full-length debut Michigan Music & of course the sophomore effort 30ville all during the first half of this ongoing decade. Signing to Rio da Yung O.G.’s very own EMPIRE Distribution imprint M.I.N.E. Entertainment last summer however, Tre’s ready to Spin the Block only a couple months since 30ville.

“Mindset” hooks up a piano-based Detroit trap instrumental referencing the Warner Bros.-owned Mortal Kombat franchise & talking about becoming his niece’s backup after her dad was tragically taken too soon whereas “No Attention” expresses his love for bustin’ bricks to serve crackheads. “1 Man Army” blends these keys & 808s together talking about the off topic shit he says being sidebars until “Sound of Love” flips some strings to detail his love for hearing CashApp notifications.

The song “Mix It Up” incorporates a Detroit trap beat with prominent bass & pianos occasional talking about his preference of standing on shit because he’s a grown ass man while “Bigger Goals” discusses the importance of making his kids rich because of his heart being broken as it already is. “Navy Seal” ends the EP by hopping over a bell-woven Detroit trap instrumental talking about liking fiends because they helped him change is life.

Not even a month after his latest album, 3200 Tre continues this personal comeback he’s been on since January with what could possibly be my favorite of the 4 projects he’s done since Rio made him a part of the M.I.N.E roster & serving as another example of why he’s one of the hardest working artists in the city today. He’s carrying the verses by himself rather than having a few guests with him, which I’m fine with since it makes more room for him to get wittier with the pen than he has previously.

Score: 3.5/5

Beannskii – “Green Bean” review

Here is the 3rd studio LP from Michigan rapper Beannskii. Following his 2023 studio debut Geek Up!, revered Detroit trap trio the ShittyBoyz would catch wind of him & make him a member of their Dog $hit Militia collective signed to Lando Bando’s own The Hip Hop Lab Records putting out his sophomore effort Beanjamin Franklin last Black Friday weekend. Coming off MJPaid & Fordio’s respective full-length debuts Paid Ponzi & Fordi Milligrams, the Green Bean seeks to continue the D$M squad’s run they’ve been on from the start of 2025 taking the plate at 3rd.

The intro begins with a Detroit trap instrumental showing off some occasional bells talking about people runnin’ they mouth on social media & hiding their tails afterwards whereas “Ball Game” incorporates some horns wishing death on anybody who clique up with his team’s opposition. “D$M” works in some pianos & 808s to talk about his crew for a minute & a half while “Wizard of Turkey Bags” favors of hitting targets instead of innocents.

“Barking” hits the grey hound the second he re-ups aiming for the face rather than going with a chest shot just before “All Hail Bean¡” brings a lowend beat from Certified Trapper with creatively chopped sample into the fold except the vocal mixing feels a little off. “Where Would I Be??” relies heavier on the bells telling everyone who be sending death threats to pull up on him leading into “Food Fight” featuring Ftos Twan talking about walking by shooting at y’all if they can’t get a ride.

Meanwhile on “Lost My Marbles”, we have Beann sliding off pucks as if he’s in the middle of a hockey game while “Hamas” talks about being in the bushes for so long that he got mosquito bites. “Tavon Austin” discusses being known for throwing back shots without any duckin’ or dodgin’ & promising you won’t take what’s his, but then “Don Don” talks about letting the stick fire off if they try to box him in on top of trying to get his pill addiction under control.

“Jolly Bean” lets the bells ring once more & sampling “How to Save a Life” by The Fray dumpin’ all the bodies he’s catchin’ in his backyard while “Kankakee” talks about sweeping those running from them off their feet. “Swanton Bombing” finds Beann pulling off the finishing move of the inaugural 4th Rope World Tag Team Champion Jeff Hardy of The Hardy Boyz while “Alone” addresses his habits of treating pills like Tic Tacs.

The orchestral sample on “Let Me Be” speaks of having no fear in him after seeing & going through it all during his lifetime in addition to his pleas for help going ignored while “Poltergeist” talks about spinning the block all day like a fidget. The outro concludes Green Bean with a regalia/Detroit trap crossover boasting that he’s pouring wine into his pop to the point where it turns into Grape Welch.

Beanjamin Franklin found Beannskii elevating himself from his debut the previous year & on Green Bean, it extends the back-to-back run that the Dog $hit Militia members have been on widely introducing & establishing themselves as individuals. Yes I’m aware of this being his 2nd offering since joining the collective however, there wasn’t a whole lot to the guests that I found interesting or much exciting compared to the main performer.

Score: 3.5/5

Big Bye – “Paper Plates” review

This is the 2nd mixtape from Michigan rapper Big Bye. Originally known as byetimo, he released his first couple EPs Bye & Big Bye in the late 2010s/early 2020s until changing his moniker after the Bye’s successor at some point between 2022 & 2023. Coming off his debut tape The Big Lebyeski couple months ago, Detroit music executive Lando Bando has officially signed Timo to his own imprint The Hip Hop Lab Records & is letting him make his debut for the label with Paper Plates.

The title track is a creatively soulful jazz rap/Detroit trap hybrid talking about having bitches everywhere that only know him by his looks & only asking for grace whereas “Sparkle” boasts of him breaking weed down to particles as well his chain glistening. “Ballin’ Hard” featuring BandGang Javar finds the 2 talking about the za being so good that it’s like they’re smoking cigars while “No Tattoos” finds himself deciding not to get freshened up for the day.

“Waterboy” works in some pianos & 808s to suggest one should come to his suburbs if you wanna get a cup of lean while “Fat Packets” featuring Babytron cloudy trades the mic back-&-forth with each other for a couple minutes. “Big Yuck” featuring BYEVIXEN finds the 2 over a Jakesand instrumental talking about having gold in their teeth like popcorn kernels just before “Girl Next Door” works in some shimmering pianos from Danny G selling sunshine & happiness.

As for “Dick Dastardly”, we have Big Bye referencing the titular antagonist of the Warner Bros.-owned Wacky Races franchise over a sample & 808s meshing with one another leading into “Payday” featuring Certified Trapper dabbling with lowend a bit talking about lining their opps out in chalk as well as receiving the wages they’re owed within 24 hours & a reference to one of my favorite WRs of all-time Randy Moss.

“My 1st Rodeo” starts the final leg of Paper Plates with a bell-inflicted beat responding to weirdos calling him a rookie who won’t amount up to anything solely because they’ve done more than him musically while “Counting on Us” talks about going from rags to riches. “Rainman” wraps up the mixtape with Bye riding in the same Buick convertible as depicted in the 1988 road comedy-drama of the same name.

Straying further away from the pop rap influences of his earlier output, Big Bye’s inaugural release under The Hip Hop Lab Records further capitalizes on the Detroit sound of The Big Lebyeski only 9 weeks after it’s predecessor & cements Timo as a welcoming addition to Lando’s roster. 75% of the features are underwhelming, but Bye’s growth both artistically & personally within nearly a decade remains easy to hear.

Lefty Gunplay – “Can’t Get Right” review

This is the 5th studio LP from Baldwin Park’s hottest artist currently Lefty Gunplay entirely produced by Compton, California emcee/producer Jason Martin formerly known as Problem. One of whom has been putting it down for the west coast for nearly 2 decades & the other has been blowing up since last summer later appearing on Kendrick Lamar’s 6th album GNX already 6 months ago. After putting out a few singles, Jason & Lefty are teaming up on Can’t Get Right.

“Lord Forgive Me” produced by Scott Storch & Jason fuses west coast trap & gospel music asking why these éses ain’t out yet here without no gun homaging the iconic Boogie Down Productions song “9mm Go Bang” during the hook whereas the title track produced by Mike & Keys and Sndtrak lets everyone know exactly how he got his stage name. “Scary Movie” takes a bit of a nervous vibe talking about the streets making him realizing. Shit out here ain’t as scary as he thought he would be just before “Gangsters Get Scared” featuring Cactus Jack Records’ newest signee Wallie the Sensei & YS talks bout even the realest of G’s taking on fear.

Meanwhile on “Heavens Above (My Angel)”, we have Lefty talking about being pussywhipped to the point where he’ll start listening good & he God sending him angels from above the pearly gates of Heaven to watch him & “Hotel Party” lives up to its name from its horn-heavy beat to the celebratory lyricism partying in his hotel room. “Menace” featuring The Game finds the 2 talking about they way both of them having become to being threats to the societies that raise them while “Cracks in the Ceilings” talks about sitting in the country jail counting the amount of cracks that’re present on the roof.

After the “Tales from the Schu” interlude, “123456” featuring RJmrLA turns the traffic music influences all way the up so both of them can talk about the hustle being hereditary while “1 Day at a Time” featuring Ty$ talks about every single one of us tryna figuring it out taking it day-by-day. “Grey Goose” featuring Kiing Khash & Osbe Chill unites the trio over a Terrace Martin beat trying to become billionaires while “Me, My Gun & You” featuring Storm DeBarge talks about it only those 3 things in the end. After the “It’s Time” interlude, the closer “Through the Fire” ends with a soulful flare claiming the rap game revolves around redemption.

My introduction to Lefty was his feature on Coyote’s breakout sophomore effort last summer L.Aliens & roughly 10 months later, Jason taps in with him to fully produce what could very well be the strongest body of work in his discography yet. The production is a lot stronger than what Lefty has put out previously & aside from a few guests not sticking the landing in terms of their performances, you can very much tell that he was locked in laser-focused by the way his pen has been sharpened.

Score: 4/5

Stanwill – “Stan Always Will” review

Detroit, Michigan rapper Stanwill starting the new month with his 4th studio LP. Coming up as 1/3 of the ShittyBoyz with Babytron & TR Dee signing to Lando Bando’s own The Hip Hop Lab Records, he eventually branched out on his own during the COVID-19 pandemic off the debut EP $camwill as well as it’s successor Gifted & the debut mixtape Van Gundy. He also went Full Auto for his 3rd EP & 4ever $hittin’ after Still $hittin’ celebrated it’s 1-year anniversary last weekend trying out new sounds, he’s clarifying that Stan Always Will.

“No Lol” comes out the gate referencing current AEW performer & commentator as well as former 7-time WWE world champion, 11-time WWE Tag Team Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, WWE United States Champion & 3-time WWE Hardcore Champion Paul Wight whereas “Power” talks about not being as sweet as some think he is. “Spring Fling” keeps it in the Detroit trap style instrumentally describing a girl he met named Summer while “4th Dimension” produced by Danny G treats beef like a shish kebab.

As for “Rocky Road”, we have Stan talking about taking the dirt path & coming out icier than he ever was leading into “Lime Light” featuring Nasaan uniting both of them so they can trade verses with each other talking about hittin’ muhfuckas with the fire soon as they catch ‘em. “50 Shots” throws in a cool bar referring to the Amazon-owned Fire TV Sticks turning any television set into a smart TV just before “Kung Pao” discusses having to do no talking & let the guns fire off.

“Kelly Olynyk” has a grittier Detroit trap flare to the beat comparing himself to the New Orleans Pelicans player of the same name prior to TR Dee joining Stan on “Pushing Daisies” to talk about the paper giving them butterflies soon as they see it cruising in a 45 except they feel like they pushin’ 80. “Run & Gun” boasts that his stash is 3x the size of whatever yours is providing the soundtrack for those who be spinning the block while “Rock Lee” featuring T Bone drops people similarly to the Naruto character.

The classy sample during “Bora Bora” was pleasant to the ears telling his girl that it’s normal for his competition to be punching under their weight in a battle with him while “Villain Arc” talks about people getting him in a time where he bounces back from a tragic event in his life. “Voila” likens the way he lives now to BMF co-founder Big Meech keeping only the pros in his mind these days while “Recipe” featuring Babyfxce E claps back at people claiming that have the sauce taking it up a notch.

“Cuban Links” continues the 2nd half of Stan Always Will airing people out quicker than the greatest basketball player of all-time Michael Jordan while “GG” humorously suggests that he injures bitches the way he be smashin’ ‘em. “Mucinex” shows a bit of a Mobb influence calling anyone stupid to get in an altercation with the Dog $hit Militia while “Ding Dong” by the Dookie Brothers references former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, ECW World Television Champion, IWGPタッグ王座, WCW Hardcore Champion & 2-time WCW World Tag Team Champion Bam Bam Bigelow.

The song “Powerball” reaches the album’s final moments feeling like the Warner Bros. subsidiary DC Entertainment-owned Superman ahead of the DC Universe media franchise & shared universe beginning in a couple months while “2 Easy” talks about jackin’ people in the face wearing the honorary WWE Hardcore Champion Travis Scott’s line of shoes. “By Any Means” finishes us off by hoping he runs into his enemies & cutting off people who ain’t did shit for him.

53 weeks since the most versatile body of work in Stan’s solo discography & he takes it back to a prominent Detroit trap style for this one spitting rapid fire verses on nearly every song in addition to him bringing on a more consistent guest list that delivers less misses than hits steadily keeping up with his pen. Whether he’s by himself or accompanied by either one or both of his ShittyBoyz cohorts, Stan Always Will deliver & come correct in terms of leveling up in terms of making the most exciting music in his style.

Score: 4/5

Fordio – “Fordi Milligrams” review

Michigan rapper Fordio releasing his full-length studio debut. Emerging in 2022 off his debut EP Foreva$camz, the follow-up Blame It on My Cup resulted the ShittyBoyz making him a member of their Dog $hit Militia collective signed to Lando Bando’s own The Hip Hop Lab Records dropping the Made & $tyle collab project with MJPaid & recently the Forever Juggin’ EP almost a year ago already. We literally got MJPaid’s own debut Paid Ponzi at the beginning of 2025 & here we are 3 months later with Fordio applying pressure on Fordi Milligrams.

“Rackz on Rackz” made for a cloudy Detroit trap intro imaging the YC & Future single of the same name whereas “No Lol” completely blocks out all the hate being spewed from the nosebleed section. “Aha” gives a spacious yet funky feeling to the beat making those who’ve turned on him regret their decisions while “Tell Me Sum” puts his faith in the drugs since he can’t trust a soul.

That subject matter gets delved deeper onto “Ain’t Feeling Luv” talking about taking percocets to help put him in a better mood leading into “Tryfe Lyfe” featuring Babytron refusing to give slices of their cheese since they’re too stingy with it. “Hot Boyz” featuring G.T. brings the pair together suggesting that people out here are more broke than they are tough while “Not Too Long” produced by Danny G talks about pouring up with 5 folks.

“Run” reaches the halfway point of the LP vowing to sprint until his legs don’t work anymore & counting his bread up until his hands go numb while “Dirty $oda Club” if you clearly couldn’t tell speaks of his love for sippin’ lean. “Jugg Anthem” experiments with plugg advising not to come around him if the loot isn’t a priority while “Y.N.B.W. (You N****s Better not Wait) talks about seeing millions coming in his dreams.

As for “IDK”, we have Fordio dismissing what others gotta say since he’s been in the v-cut & “PA All-Stars” featuring MJPaid & 72 Reezy unites the trio to talk about being the worst nightmare of any individual with nothing in their pockets until Baby Ghost outraps Glockboyz Teejaee on a song named after 6-time WWE world champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, WWE tag team champion, 2-time AEW World Champion, inaugural ROH Hall of Fame inductee, ROH World Champion, 2-time ROH World Tag Team Champion & former UFC fighter “CM Punk” finally getting his WrestleMania main event last weekend.

“Leanin’” featuring Certified Trapper kicks off the 4th quarter of the tape trading verses over a lowend instrumental while “Overtime” suggests not to mind him or the crew whenever they pull up to your town. “72mg” oozes of psychedelia explaining that his heart is beating fast due to the drugs he’s consuming while “NeedDat” finishes the album talks about not being a fool whenever it comes to the bag.

Not too far off from Paid Ponzi several months back, Fordi Milligrams similarly to what that previously mentioned debut had done displays what Fordio has to offer by himself & makes me hope the other 2 members of the collective catch up to them with projects of their own. The production is a step up from that early material & despite a few features I could’ve done without, many of their verses rival Fordi’s.

Score: 4/5
