Kash Doll is a 32 year old rapper, songwriter & actress from Detroit, Michigan who signed to Republic Records for her debut mixtape Brat Mailas well as the debut EP The Vault & of course the full-length debut studio album Stacked. She later signed to MNRK Music Group a year & a half ago after fulfilling her major label commitments, linking up with DJ Drama for her sophomore tape Back on Dexter & returning to put out The Last Doll independently after playing Monique during the first 2 seasons of BMF on STARZ.

“Klarity” produced by Cardiak & Wu10 begins with this exuberant trap opener dedicated to her daughter whereas the 2nd to last single “Kash Kommandments” decently puts her own spin on the iconic Biggie track “10 Crack Commandments”. “Nothin’ New” takes the Detroit trap route instrumentally thanks to none other than Helluva shittin’ on bitches for a living leading into “Pressin’” featuring Tee Grizzley wanting to know who these people think they pressin’ up against.

Hitmaka sampling “Apache (Jump On It)” by the Sugarhill Gang on “Jump” was pretty cool representing her city declaring that she won’t ever leave the block, but then the off-the-wall trap vibe that Lex Luger gives “Plot Twist” is outstanding flexing that she stole this bitch’s man. “NWA” featuring Tracy T finds the couple linking up over an OG Parker beat showing pride in bossing each other up while “Baby Boy” pays homage to her son.

“Stupid” shows off a more melodic side to Kash Doll singing about wanting to know why her man is out here actin’ stupid chasing subpar hoes when he has the coolest bad bitch just before “Comfy” featuring Tink samples “Comfortable” by Lil Wayne suggesting not to get too comfortable around them. “Love Myself” has a cool dance vibe talking about self-love while “Power” featuring MDG was a questionable lead single.

The penultimate track “Big 1” pushes towards the final moments of The Last Doll refusing to take these lame ass dudes seriously tellin’ one of them who thinks he can swing to batter up & finally, the b-side to the latter “Fawk ‘Em” officially closes the LP by giving middle fingers to all the fake, weird hoes as well as the envious snakes & the people who stay trickin’ off that munyun.

Marking a deeply personal chapter in her life, Kash Doll’s first album after leaving Republic showcases her growth as a woman, a mother of 2 & an artist evolving beyond the persona that first brought her into the spotlight. Balancing motherhood with her thriving career, the Detroit star reflects on her journey by using this album as a powerful expression of her personal & artistic evolution.

Score: 3.5/5
