Peysoh – “BastardChild” review

Brand new LP & the 4th overall from Maywood, California recording artist Peysoh. Introducing himself 4 years ago already with the debut single “6 Block”, he would later sign to EMPIRE Distribution for his full-length debut Ghetto Journal at the beginning of 2022 in addition to a sophomore effort Get Rich or Life Sliding the next summer. Peysoh Did It following an appearance on Kendrick Lamar’s 6th album GNX was great although FinallyFed proved to be disappointingly mediocre, returning for a description of his experiences as a BastardChild only 24 hours away from Rey Fénix ending the Laredo Kid’s 2nd reign as AAA Mundial Crucero Campeon to become a 2-time champion himself as well as El Hijo Del Vikingo ending El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.’s reign as AAA Latinamericano Campeon & former 3-time WWE tag team champions The War Raiders becoming the new AAA Mundial Parejas Campeons at Noches de Los Grandes.

“EvilEastSide” opens with this 97 second intro spittin’ gangsta raps over a g-funk instrumental whereas the title track talks about his self-awareness of living wrong in a previous life. “Star” featuring Lefty Gunplay finds the 2 linking up to discuss having to be in court the next morning, but then “GangTats” featuring Blueface made for one of the weaker collaborations on here despite it’s bouncy beat although Peysoh had the better performances.

The Game makes up for it by appearing on “Don’t Play At All” talking about how neither of them fuck around & embracing a more nervous vibe instrumentally leading into “GunSmoke” tapping back into the gangsta rap side of things lyrically & bringing back the g-funk elements. “Retail” kicks off the 2nd half of the full-length speaks of mixing the peach smell with smoking dead opps while “Conejos” talks about the gangsta lifestyle once more.

“I Ain’t Trippen” featuring Young Aktive decently brings both artists together not sweatin’ over the envious trying to kill them while “I’m Worse” incorporates elements of nervous music to once more talking about being quick to bust shots unlike these other rappers. “- 1 Opp” featuring MemoTheMafioso joins forces to each drop verses over a nervous piano beat & the main artist coming out on top but after “HatedBeinBroke” reflects on his hardships, the outro “Hairs Gettin’ White” featuring Mozzy ends on a pleasantly atmospheric note.

A huge reason that I felt like FinallyFed was a letdown mainly boiled down to the excessive guest appearances & I give Peysoh his props for diminishing the amount of them during the BastardChild sessions even if only half stood out. Not to say I don’t believe this was an improvement over it’s predecessor last summer because it very much is whether it’s the nervous/g-funk production or the Maywood allowing more room for himself to grow.

Score: 3.5/5

Peysoh – “Peysoh Did It” review

Maywood, California up-&-comer Peysoh dropping off a brand new EP with only 11 days left in 2024. Introducing himself 4 years ago already with the debut single “6 Block”, he would later sign to EMPIRE Distribution for his full-length debut Ghetto Journal at the beginning of 2022 in addition to a sophomore effort Get Rich or Life Sliding the next summer. He recently landed guest verses on Berner’s 16th album Hoffa & of course the title track of Kendrick Lamar’s 6th album GNX a month ago, preluding next album by declaring Peysoh Did It.

“Ain’t as Evil as Me” is this Mobb-influenced open or talking about how nobody out here is more evil than he is whereas “Not Me” eerily works in some pianos getting on the gangsta rap tip lyrically. “Lucky 7” embraces the Detroit trap vibes talking about his nickname & getting away with some shit while “What’s Beef?” puts a modern west coast trap twist on a homage to the iconic Biggie track. “Let ‘Em Run” goes Mobb for the final moments asking the city to tell you who be poppin’ shit.

Similarly to the new YoungThreat mixtape that came out earlier today It Gets Greater Later, we have another artist who was featured on Dot’s surprise LP coming through with a body of work that lands a step above Siete7x’s recent tape Stucc in the Hole in terms of quality. All 3 artists can very much rap, but the latter tape had too many features & the other 2 artists didn’t have to bring any in whatsoever.

Score: 3.5/5
