Drego is a 23 year old rapper from Detroit, Michigan known for being 1/2 of the duo Drego & Beno. Their debut mixtape Sorry for the Get Off established them as one of the biggest groups in Detroit trap as did Meet Us Outer Space & Sorry for the Auto Tune respectively, extending their break as a pairing to focus on their individual careers & Drego becoming the first of the 2 members to make his official solo debut exhibiting the mind of a Krazy Man ahead of their debut album together.

“55 Bars” takes on the intangible fame & seeking for clarity simultaneously referencing the greatest QB of all-time Tom Brady whereas “Ball” by Drego & Beno finds them going back & forth with one another seamlessly asking how you gon’ tell them to live when you ain’t even doing shit with your life. “Numbers” uses sharp numerical wordplay for 2 & a half minutes just before “Okay” featuring PeeWee Longway compares themselves to Tony Montana.

Meanwhile on “Pick the Plug Again”, we have Drego making reference to the Ice Cream Man era of No Limit Records founder Master P leading into “Chauncey Billups” honoring the 2004 NBA Finals MVP it’s titled after. “If You Want” by Drego & Beno featuring Cash Kidd & Nuk unites the quartet killing to get what they want while “Dis Dat” gives the fine print to those he wants to influence.

“Popovixh” keeps it rollin’ talking about making more plays than the San Antonio Spurs’ head coach Greg Popovich until “Ronda Rousey” obviously refers to the former WWE Women’s Champion, UFC Hall of Famer & the inaugural UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion of the same name. “Dub” by Drego & Beno featuring BandGang Biggs, BandGang Lonnie Bands & BandGang Masoe boasts of them being like the Pistons during their first of 3 NBA Championship seasons while “Push da Bag” by Drego & Beno gets on the back-&-forth tip again delivery wise.

BandGang Biggs & BandGang Lonnie Bands come back with the late BandGang Paid Will in place of Masoe during “Eddie Long” touching people’s spirits similarly to the late pastor who passed away 4 years ago, but then “I Know What U Want” featuring Sada Baby finds the 2 talking about being the only ones around their way up by $60M. “In the Game” featuring Rio da Yung O.G. shows no signs of slowing down the money counting while “Sponsor” shuts down the need for any kind of backing since he knows every baddie.

“Zaza Pachuila” featuring Veeze got these organ melodies during it’s course matched with 808s boasting that both of them have achieved self-employed status while “Drekio” talks about nobody being able to do it the way he does it. “Ms. Dash” featuring Ju6aby, Money Reese & 5auce Lik concludes our journey into the mind of a Krazy Man with an underwhelming collaboration saving the best verse for last showing off their gang ties.

Many including myself got introduced to Drego through his guest appearance on the viral Sada single “Bloxk Party”, so Krazy Man was a huge deal for that crowd of people & he holds it down well enough for me to be confident of him becoming successful with or without Beno. Nevertheless of having to see when the other eventually goes up at bat & a couple moments where the guests’ performances fall flat, it’s a tightly conceived Detroit trap solo debut.

Score: 3.5/5
