OsamaSon – “Psykotic” review

Here is the 4th studio LP from Charleston, South Carolina star OsamaSon. Starting a few years ago, he would then start to pump out 3 EPs shortly after I’m da Man as well as Vengeance & Carnival respectively. He returned at the beginning of 2023 by dropping osamavrt, following it up in the form of slime & Bad Habits. Osama’s debut Osama Season & the follow-up Flex Musix increased his profile as did the 3vil Reflection collab EP with Glokk40Spaz. Jumpout came out at the beginning of 2025 & he’s looking to get a bit more Psykotic.

“Habits” opens with a distorted beat getting the mosh pits jumpin’ whereas “Worldwide” produced by gyro talks about the lifestyles of the rich & famous over a futuristic trap instrumental. The self-produced “Addicted” shifts back in rage territory to spit braggadocio while “Get Away” takes a more melodic approach so he can talk about never falling short like his competition are.

The Halloween vibes of “Maag Dump” are absolutely perfect with the holiday coming in 3 weeks flexing that his lil shooter hits shit for fun just before the chaotic “T193” references the late WWE Hall of Famer Paul Bearer. “FMJ” featuring che reunites the 2 & CXO nearly 3 months after “Hellraiser” for another exciting rage collaboration while the appropriately dark “Inferno” talks about being 20 when Atlantic signed him.

“She Woke Up” reaches the halfway point melodically boasting that he’s in this chick’s head rent free leading into him hyperactively making the “Function” jump to start the 2nd leg. “In It” gives off a more colorful rage mood tackling the theme of love & that same peppiness can be applied to “Yea I Kno” except he’s talking about his success.

gyro samples “Shirt Off” by Gucci Mane, Frenchie, OJ da Juiceman & Wooh da Kid during the chaotic “What’s Happening” & Lil O saving one of Psykotic’s best flows for his sole verse while “It’s a Party” talks about being fresh like every day his last & once “Gintama” homages the baby voice Playboi Carti used during the late 2010s, “Guap Man” takes almost 3 minutes to boast his wealth until the celebratory “Victory Lap”.

Joining the ranks of che’s newest album Rest in Bass or the recent Lucy Bedroque mixtape Unmusique & of course the new Jane Remover album Revengeseekerz, Psykotic in due time will certainly be regarded as the greatest work of OsamaSon’s entire career & amongst the most essential rage listenings of this ongoing decade from the mainly hardcore lyricism to the production’s undertones of experimental hip hop, industrial hip hop & trap.

Score: /5

OsamaSon – “Jumpout” review

This is the 3rd full-length studio LP from Charleston, South Carolina up-&-comer OsamaSon. Starting a few years ago, he would then start to pump out 3 EPs shortly after I’m da Man as well as Vengeance & Carnival respectively. He returned at the beginning of 2023 by dropping osamavrt, following it up this past spring in the form of slime & Bad Habits. Osama’s debut Osama Season & the follow-up Flex Musix increased his profile as did the 3vil Reflection collab EP with Glokk40Spaz last spring, but he’s now ready to Jumpout after some delays.

“Southside” gets the album rollin’ by talking about everyone being mad at all the racks he’s made in the past year & a half over these synth-horns from Ok whereas the quasi-rage inducing “Fool” celebrates all the wins that he’s continuing to experience. “GTFO Out the Room” tells everyone to clear out proving that he can very much rock out too while “Made Sum Plans” asks his girl to talk to him since he off that drank.

Meanwhile on “Break da News”, we have OsamaSon bombastically flexes that his shooters don’t ever miss leading into “Room 156” maintains the hypertrap vibes to talk about not knowing if you never try to go. The title track produced by gyro reminds everyone that he’s not a new artist since he’s been around for a few years at this point just before “Going Dumbo” talks about going stupid.

“She Needs a Ride” completes the first half of Jumpout boasting himself waking up stoned off that good weed while “New Tune” talks about hittin’ licks dressed up in an outfit that cost him approximately $300K. “Waffle House” stands up for nonbinary rights since his bitch “don’t by no pronouns”, but then “I Got the Fye” shows how turnt up he’s been these days.

The classy trap direction of “Insta” is something that I really found myself enjoying talking about a girl he met on the Meta Platforms-owned Instagram app coinciding with it’s founder Mark Zuckerberg showing us his true shtoile on Monday while “Frontin’” gets back on the rage beats addressing an individual who be cappin’ suggesting they ain’t got shit to hide. “Mufasa” reaches the encore of the LP feelin’ like The Lion King’s antagonist while “Ref” talks about having more stripes on his chest than a referee.

“The Whole World’s Free” captures the artist’s message of liberation & personal empowerment amid the complexities of relationships & material pursuits while “Round of Applause” encourages everyone to pull-up & have fun. “Logo” starts a brief deluxe run talking about being that muhfucka tryna get his stats bigger & the final bonus track “Luv” shows off the hundreds he has in the bank posted up in the 6.

Flex Musix marked a huge breakthrough in OsamaSon’s career & he’s making up for all the pushback 8 months after 3vil Reflection became the best collab EP that he or even Glokk40 have ever cooked up in their careers by decent continuing where he left off on Jumpout. The rage-heavy production isn’t exciting as it was 13 months ago, but Lil O himself takes his intense performances higher.

Score: 3/5

Glokk40Spaz & OsamaSon – “3vil Reflection” review

This is a brand new collaborative EP between Glokk40Spaz & OsamaSon. Both of whom have collaborated with one another in the past on the track “Codeine Dreamz”, but have individually made a name for themselves as 2 of the biggest up-&-comers that trap music has to offer with projects like Took the Biggest Risk or Flex Musix. However, they are linking up to surprise-drop 3vil Reflection on SoundCloud.

To start the EP, “2X” finds the 2 vividly portraying the gangsta lifestyles they live backed by an atmospheric trap instrumental whereas “Movie” works in some rage beats talking about having sticks on them & throwing their Dracos up in the air. “Blame Dem Drugz” might be my favorite track on 3vil Reflection diving into pluggnb territory going dummy that is until “Bankroll” brings back the hypertrap influences turning the bass up to 11 & counting their pesos.

“No Rules” has a straight up plugg vibe to it instrumentally taking out everyone who tries to get in their way just before the synthesizer-heavy “ADHD” talks about going to hit that kid since they actually have ADHD itself. The rage-inducing “Jungle” boasts that they just spent about $10K & “Wicked” shoots for a dark plugg sound popping out with the potato barrels on their glizzys, but then “Vixen” finishes the EP with 1 last hypertrap cut not giving a fuck no more.

Both of these guys have been dominating the plugg/rage scenes in their own distinctive fashions, so hearing them coming together on 3vil Reflection is a momentous occasion considering each artists’ rightfully increasing popularity & they give us the tightest collaborative effort in their discographies. Its production mostly has a hypertrap tone throughout with additional elements of dark plugg & pluggnb as 2 of their hottest artists in that field match their intensities.

Score: 4.5/5

OsamaSon – “Flex Musix” review

Charleston, South Carolina up-&-comer OsamaSon is back with a sophomore full-length album. Starting a couple years ago, he would then start to pump out 3 EPs shortly after I’m da Man as well as Vengeance & Carnival respectively. He returned at the beginning of 2023 by dropping osamavrt, following it up this past spring in the form of slime & Bad Habits. Osama’s debut Osama Season earlier this summer was some of the best dark plugg I’ve heard in a while, so it made sense for him to follow-up on that previous LP couple weeks after being delayed of it’s original Black Friday release.

“Blonde” is a rage-inducing opener booling on the East side with his fucking twin whereas “Baghdad” comparing his foreign bitch & his sticks to the capital of Iraq guaranteeing that your crew can’t fuck with whilst Ok mixes elements of electronic music with trap. “All Star” shifts back into the hypertrap sound to ball like an MVP with a bunch of checks all in his head just before “For da Flex” produced by gyro talks about giving no fucks as he & his slime go for the win over more rage beats.

Things take a turn into bombastic territory on “Worst Part” promising that you don’t want smoke with him at all leading into the bassy “Trenches” kicking shit with his manager Stef like it’s the NFL asking when Young Thug’s gonna be free & shopping at Lenox in Atlanta. “Nothing” returns to giving off a bit of a hypertrap edge instrumentally talking about running out of love & still having mud, but then “3x” saying all he needs is 3 percs over an explosive rage beat.

“Boss Up” talks about looking the best & making this far in the rap game already over these dense, buzzing synths with repetitive chord progressions on top of melodic synthesizer leads & hi-hats while “Kills” talks about falling in love & buying more drugs with more hypertrap production accompanying him. “Kome Thru” declares himself as the one turning the bass up high as Hell once more while the synth-heavy “Me When” talks about taking the trap to Los Angeles & that his bag got hella checks.

Meanwhile, I feel like “Uno” almost has this industrial trap vibe to it admitting all he does his flex while “Str8 Flexin’” continues to drop braggadocio over this chaotic ass instrumental. The song “Congrats” keeps things atmospheric talking about being congratulated on winning his shit while the penultimate track “Pop” admits that he’ll post up just to flex & to tell slime that he got bags on top of hi-hats woven into this “yeah” vocal sample. “Talking 2 a Ghost” ends the album by confessing over guitars from thr6x that he doesn’t know where he’s going, but that he’s gonna make it today.

“Cartel” is the first of 6 bonus tracks by flexing his mob ties over rage beats while “Rehhab” switches into a a slower flow & a more melodical approach although it’s still grounded into that hypertrap sound instrumentally. “Need It” has these icy synths & skittering hi-hats talking about being in the streets fuckin’ that shit up while “Alot” continues clashing dense, buzzing synthesizers with repetitive chord progressions melodic synth leads likening his whip to a GoKart. “Flxr” has a heavier sound using a different vocal delivery than Osama normally does looking to stack his chips & the rubbery “Freestyle” ends the deluxe by giving 1 last flex.

OsamaSeason quickly cemented OsamaSon as a fresh new face in the dark plugg scene for me, but he completely departs from that style & even plugg music in general on a sophomore effort that results in being a cut above the debut that we got from him earlier this summer. The rage undertones of the predecessor are being showcased more than they were last time, his confidence is off the charts & he sounds like he’s having fun with it.

Score: 4/5

OsamaSon – “Osama Season” review

This is the official full-length debut album from Ohio born/South Carolina based recording artist & producer OsamaSon. Getting his start a couple years ago, he would then start to pump out 3 EPs shortly after I’m da Man as well as Vengeance & Carnival respectively. He returned at the beginning of 2023 by dropping osamavrt, following it up this past spring in the form of slime & Bad Habits However, the sextet of EPs have all been building up to Osama Season & I was intrigued going in because I’ve only heard a couple tracks from him up to this point.

“Leh Go” is a rage-inducing opener produced by Ok to set things off talking about slidin’ up whereas “Werkin’” goes into more synth-heavy turf calling out a whole entire crew for being virgins & floating on the highway speeding. “Vlone” has a dark plugg sound to it warning that those who run up him will get ‘lammed just before “Summer 16” takes the hypertrap route once again ballin’ like it was 2016 all over again, which is understandable considering how massive of a year that was for hip hop.

Meanwhile, “Anti” brings back the synths on top of some hi-hats having exactly in mind what he would do for the plus leading into “Lil O” pulling out another rage beat paying homage to the titular Houston emcee of the same name. “X & Sex” addresses the 2 things he loves the most with a bombastic beat, but then “Kutta” delves further into hypertrap flexing that he got racks & having the ability to do it all.

The synthesizers throughout “Lambtruck” are inebriating looking to take the whip to Japan while the song “Don’t Let Looks Fool” talks about the idea of not judging a book by it’s cover in his own way over a futuristic instrumental. The penultimate track “Pipeup” gives me a robotic trap vibe sonically thanks to boolymon coming through the back with the heater & “Troops” is a more psychedelic choice of a closer talking about being outside with the squad.

Although Smokingskul & Glokk4spazz have both my favorite dark plugg artists within the past 365 days almost, OsamaSon has quickly just entered the ranks on this album. The production is still grounded in his signature sound even though it shifts into rage beats every so often, his songwriting is a lot stronger & I don’t think I’ve ever heard him this hungry. Keep an eye out for him, he’s going places.

Score: 4/5
