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

Fordio & MJPaid – “Made & $tyle” review

Michigan rappers Fordio & MJPaid teaming up for a new collaborative mixtape. Both of whom are notable for being members of the Dog $hit Militia collective founded by the ShittyBoyz, signing to Lando Bando’s own EMPIRE Distribution imprint The Hip Hop Lab Records as solo acts not too long ago with 3 EPs under their belts each. However ahead of their respective debut albums Paid Ponzi & Fordi Milligrams next year, both parties are putting their chemistry to the test on Made & $tyle.

“Grammys” begins by trading verses with one another about the way they be living over a Detroit trap instrumental whereas “Dirty $oda” expresses their love of sippin’ lean. “Trials & Tribulations” produced by Danny G has to be an early favorite of mine excellently pulling off the back-&-forth delivery better than both previous attempts while “2K24” talks about leaving all that broke ass shit in the past.

As for “Neck of the Juggs”, we have Fordio & MJPaid telling us they’d rather play gangster for the blue hundreds spending all day chasin’ a bag just before “Way 2 Geeked” talks about being fucked up off the drugs to the point where they can’t even sleep. “IDKY” references WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson while “Chemistry” featuring the late $camaurion has a bar referring to the Fox Corporation’s flagship property’s longest running animated series The Simpsons.

“Bubble” talks about hitting Philadelphia after burning down shop only 3 months away from the City of Love hosting WrestleMania XL following Endeavor merging the WWE & the UFC to form TKO Group Holdings a few months ago while “D$M&$” featuring Lewis & Clark reps their gang over a Jakesand instrumental. “3am in Oakland” remembers their fallen homie $cams accompanied by a Danny G beat while “What Happened” asks where the time goes.

Moving on from there, “Nowadays” observes the way things are currently whether others acting as if they tough or both Dog $hit Militia members never failing while “Never Stop Cashin’” featuring Prince Jefe reunites with Jakesand for the trio to talk about not complaining of the cheese they making since it’s free. “On the Way” advised for anyone broke to keep their opinions to themselves while “Intoxicated” talks about profiting off every run.

“Master Minds” featuring Kasher Quon reminisces over the times they’ve done fucked up a load & memories of $camaurion coming up to mind while “2am in Atlanta” takes us live from the ATL talking about what’s on their minds during the late night hours. “Juice WRLD” gets over a Danny G instrumental for another exciting moment of trading verses prior to GlockBoyz TeeJaee & TR Dee joining to express their dislike towards “Paparazzi”.

Danny G & Jakesand both lock in with each other behind the boards for the song “What It Seems” talking about rocking the finest, most expensive shit & having the money to compliment the outfits while “Ain’t Hearing It” confesses to getting up in their feelings when it comes to the bands aspiring to go after millions. “End Goal” finishes Made & $tyle with both rappers talking about their endgame being in their separate mansions.

As someone who’s heard both of these guys through guest appearances on a handful of projects that THHL has put out within the past couple years, Made & $tyle is only the beginning for Fordio & MJPaid as I’m sure their individual debuts for the Detroit trap label will be equally promising of their artistic potentials as this. The production is greater than either solo EP from each performer, holding their own weight & doing a fine job at balancing one another lyrically.

Score: 3.5/5
