This is the 15th mixtape from Flint, Michigan rapper Krispylife Kidd. Since 2019, his popularity in the local trap scene has been gradually increasing since 2019 going on to release a total of his previous 13 tapes & 4 EPs all in that span of time. Icewear Vezzo even signed him to Iced Up Records during the pandemic & Lil Yachty who appeared at WrestleMania XLI this year had him featured on Michigan Boy Boat. Now I’d start with Krispylife 2 & The Art of Spice Talk trilogy if you wanna dive into Krispylife’s music, although Juice & B.A.G. (Born A Goat) each had their own individual standouts last year & now asks Why Me Worry? merely 3 months after the Stunt Life EP.

After the “Goat” intro, the first song “Back 2 It” is a bell-heavy Detroit trap opener refusing to let anyone hang around him unless you’ve caught a body whereas “Bottle Girl Scam” hilariously assumes that those going out their way for clout are fans & he shouldn’t be rapping since there’s nothing left to gain. “President Run” featuring Babyfxce E & produced by The World Famous D-Boy samples “Creep” by TLC so they can pass the mic back-&-forth with one another just before the lowend “Home Blesser” talks about paying a bitch’s rent.

“Life as a Hustler” moves forward showing y’all how he used to run it up on the blocks explaining what it was like for him being a go-getter leading into “Dope Man” talking about moving weight in the streets & making $100k off the drugs he be sellin’ & “Mile Count” featuring Tay B once again displaying a back-&-forth chemistry from both of them, except I feel like it was done much better on “President Run” a while ago & I’ve never considered myself a big Babyfxce E fan.

After the “Off the Rope” interlude, “Hell in a Cell” takes it’s name after the prestigious steel cage-based matches in WWE that most recently ended former 6-time WWE world champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, WWE tag team champion, 2-time AEW World Champion, inaugural ROH Hall of Fame inductee, ROH World Champion, 2-time ROH World Tag Team Champion & former UFC fighter CM Punk’s feud with 4-time WWE world champion, NXT Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, 4-time WWE tag team champion & TNA World Champion Drew McIntyre last fall.

“Like Triple H” compares himself to the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer, 14-time WWE world champion, 5-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 3-time WWE tag team champion & the Endeavor-owned TKO Group Holdings division’s CCO since 2022 but after “$100K Pallet” responds to a group of people dissing him by bodying every single one of them in a cypher, “Knock It Off” claps back at a dude who wants beef by getting his own father involved with it

2-time WWE Hall of Famer, former 16-time WWE world champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, 6-time WWE United States Champion, 6-time WWE tag team champion & 9-time NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair gets homaged on “Figure 4 Leg Lock” since he was the one who had popularized the maneuver with others following suit for years to come while “What Motion” wraps up Why Me Worry? by telling everyone at home what motion REALLY is since they don’t have it the way he does.

Looking to continue catching up with his mentor, quite possibly my favorite signing on the IUR imprint Krispylife Kidd takes an opportunity during Why Me Worry? to take the throne as a larger than life living legend & undisputed champion of the world by himself other than a couple average features. Aside from that & preferring Stuntman Beatz’ production on the last EP a bit more, his imaginative approach to songwriting remains strong during the half hour.

Score: 3.5/5
