Icewear Vezzo – “Undefeated” review

This is a brand new EP from Detroit trap veteran & Iced Up Records founder Icewear Vezzo. For over a decade now after appearing on the studded “Detroit vs. Everybody” remix, this dude has been making waves locally by releasing the Rich Off Pints trilogy of LPs & over a dozen mixtapes. The previous tape Paint the City hosted by DJ Drama preluded his Quality Control Music debut album Live from the 6 celebrating it’s 1-year anniversary a little over a month ago & remains Undefeated after the sequel.

“Fuck the Internet” gets the door broken down with an ominous Detroit trap intro talking about refusing to chase trends whereas “Streets Ain’t the Same” samples “Regulate” by Warren G & the late Nate Dogg letting off his observations of shit changing in the hood & getting the actual Warren G himself on the remix. “Geeks” references WWE Hall of Famer, former 6-time WWE Champion, 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 2-time WWE United States Champion, 5-time WWE Tag Team Champion & NWA World Tag Team Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin just before “Cake & Rice” pours up enough drank that can give him stomach aches during the evening.

Meanwhile on “Good to Me”, we have Vezzo talking about a woman who wants someone rich leading into “Worth Something” featuring Big Sean & Skilla Baby finding the trio making the whole block jump. “Minnesota” morbidly takes the wocky to the North Star State while “Richer Than I’ve Ever Been” featuring GT of course boasts their wealth. “Dumb Dumb” finishes by leaving the plug & coming right back since his packages be slapping.

It’s been 4 months since the Detroit trap star & IUR CEO celebrated his birthday by putting out a Live from the 6 successor that explored 6 Mile even further than the predecessor did & he warms up the streets for whatever has coming next by cooking up 9 tracks bringing along a few of the city’s biggest artists for the ride letting y’all into the way they be living over the Motor City’s unique take on trap music.

Score: 3.5/5
