Percaso & Tezzus – “SØUFSIDE” review

Orlando, Florida rapper Percaso & Atlanta, Georgia rapper Tezzus teaming up for a new collaborative EP. One of whom I was recently introduced to this spring off his Fast Car Music mixtape & the other on The XA Tape during this past Super Bowl Weekend. Crossing paths on previous songs like “Brazy Brazy” or “Roll 1” & “NUN2SUM” during the course of this year, it was interesting for me to hear these guys taking their chemistry to newer heights on Søufside.

“LikeDaMoon” is a cloudy trap intro flexing the respective runs each one of them have been on as of late wanting to high off shrooms whereas “Hallelujah” claps back at the pussies who don’t know the game & talks about previously being broke to the point where they used to sleep on floors. “Hard Body” has a more menacing trap vibe to it taking the lyricism from the perspective of gangsters & “UnknownSlut” turns the 808s up high as Hell so they can talk about fiends calling their phones.

The self-produced “THØT HOE” featuring ShawtyRokk shows resentment against a woman who’s apparently ran through the whole gang while the rage-inducing “TexasDølla” talks about the fact they’ve been making money for a while outside where they havin’ racks the old way. “Skrt” featuring Diorvsyou finds the trio boasting that they’ll pull off stealing your bitches while “Brand New” featuring diamond* talks about cutting throats if they don’t get their paychecks.

“Gøat” also featuring diamond* has got to be my favorite collaboration of the 2 from the plugg instrumental to the lyrics wearing their success on their sleeves while “Wish U Well” featuring Diorvsyou wraps up our damn near 22 minute journey down the Søufside with all 3 of them talking about getting high to cope with their stresses & kicking women out of the hotels they’re staying at, wishing the best for them nevertheless

When it comes to the underground trap scene, Percaso & Tezzus have given us the best collab EP in that style since Glokk40Spaz & OsamaSon’s collab EP 3vil Reflection last spring. Taking cues from trap to rage & plugg throughout the production, 2 of the best southern hip hop up-&-comers flow well with one another & both guests towards the end going back-to-back regarding their performances.

Score: 4/5

Percaso – “Fast Car Music” review

Orlando, Florida rapper & producer Percaso setting out to make bigger waves in the jerk scene by dropping a debut mixtape. Introducing himself during the winter of 2023 off his debut EP 15, he would later follow it up with 3 more EPs in MGN which is my personal favorite of the 4 along with Outta da State & Enough respectively. Not even a month after the latter, he’s cooking up some Fast Car Music to start the 2nd quarter of 2025 & further teasing a debut album whenever he’s ready for it.

“Handmade” is this self-produced plugg intro asking why you’re in his lane & cautioning for everyone to get the fuck up out his way whereas “Rick Jeans” takes a bombastic route instrumentally talking about getting his jeans from the west coast fashion designer Rick Owens. “Close My Eyes” brings a rage-inducing vibe to the table so he can talk about seeing demons whenever he gets shuteye while the organ-driven “Money Rush” breaks down the cash flow.

Luh Tyler joins Percasso on “Koolin’’” so they can admit to thinking of the demons that’re already upside their heads just before the dark plugg-inspired “Decline” talks about getting dough with his 9 & refusing to answer calls on his phone. “Enough” featuring Polo Youngin’ has a standard plugg flare discussing knowing what each others’ limits are leading into “Get Off” sampling “Let It Go” by Playboi Carti talking about his racks being achievements.

“She a Slut” shows a rage influence once again to rock out a show in Miami while the synth-driven “So Kool” featuring Polo Youngin’ keeps old blues on them making newer money. “Southside” featuring reddglk finds the 2 telling everyone to get their bread up & after “Denim” speaks on his lifestyle, “Explain” featuring Wizz Havin uncannily ends with them moving dope.

Wasn’t too familiar with Percaso until I got a suggestion over the weekend to give this tape a listen & regardless of its flaws, I can very much hear the amount of potential he has artistically. The production he solely handles shows a myriad of influences including jerk, trap, rage, plugg & dark plugg except that he’s outperforming a vast majority of the guests joining him since their contributions primarily punch under their weight.

Score: 3.5/5
