WTM Scoob – “Life’s the Baddest Bitch” review

No sign of Detroit, Michigan rapper WTM Scoob slowing down with his 4th EP of the week & his 12th overall. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his acclaimed debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside Big Heart Small World. I’ll Neva Sell My Soul alongside Yellow Willow & Sydney have all dropped this week, explaining why Life is the Baddest Bitch.

“2 Brothers” works in a flute sample & some 808s talking about having a way to make it out the streets alive whereas “Finger Bowls” replies to those asking where he’s been by answering “in another Benz” bringing a more boisterous vibe. “Let’s Do It” hold up some pianos & hi-hats being down to break bread & shop all day but once “I Got New Money Go Get Sum” flexes his fresh loaf over a cloudy trap instrumental, “Photo” finishes with a Detroit sound outro talking about his life being ferocious.

Sydney remains my favorite extended play of the small handful WTM Scoob has released on SoundCloud this week, but Life is the Baddest Bitch would be a close 2nd without hesitation. Nolo 2000’s production sticks out amongst some of the finest batch of beats compared to it’s predecessors meshing the Detroit sound, cloud rap, trap & some instrument samples for Scoob to warm up for a release party he’s playing in less than 3 weeks as a birthday gift to fans.

Score: 4/5

WTM Scoob – “Sydney” review

Already got the 11th EP from Detroit, Michigan rapper WTM Scoob. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his acclaimed debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside Big Heart Small World. Yellow Willow dropped literally an hour ago & he’s already turning up the pressure with Sydney.

“WYA? I Wanna See U RN!” opens with a cloudy, 108 seconds trap intro talking about wanting to see his lover while the pluggy “U Know U Important to Me” reminds her of how much she means to him. “Girl Ask God 4 Forgiveness” quirkily advises the woman he’s addressing to seek redemption from the higher power & “mo ho’s than santa :(“ talks about having too many hoes.

For those of you who loved the way WTM Scoob heavily embraced the cloud rap/plugg styles all over Peach Wolf almost a year ago, it’s highly plausible that you’re gonna enjoy Sydney the most out of all 3 extended plays we’ve gotten from him these past 60 hours. Production-wise, it’s a lot similar to the previously mentioned EP from last Thanksgiving & the subject matter has a stronger focus around love.

Score: 4/5

WTM Scoob – “Yellow Willow” review

Another day & another EP from Detroit, Michigan rapper WTM Scoob marking the 10th in his discography. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his acclaimed debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside Big Heart Small World. I covered Peach Wolf around Thanksgiving time last year & 10 months later, Yellow Willow has arrived in time for fall.

“Grimace Shake” was a tropical choice of an intro talking about chopping it up with God to wash away all of his sins while “She Called Me Weird About a Year Ago” takes 39 seconds to recall a woman referring to him as a weirdo 12 months ago. “Tom Izzo” references the iconic Michigan State Spartans basketball coach of the same name over a reversed sample & “Fly Ass Kid Puffing w/ an Angel” experiments with sample drill for almost a minute talks about smoking weed with messengers of God.

Only 48 hours since I’ll Never Sell My Soul dropped, WTM Scoob celebrates the fall by releasing an extended play that’s almost 10 minutes shorter than the predecessor from the end of the weekend coming close to the LP he dropped the summer. The production’s a bit more experimental than I had expected since most of his music’s catered to the Detroit sound, but he nevertheless uses the salix lutea as a briefly enjoyable metaphor for vitality.

Score: 3.5/5

WTM Scoob – “I’ll Neva Sell My Soul” review

Detroit, Michigan rapper WTM Scoob is back with his 9th EP. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his acclaimed debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside his last EP Big Heart Small World. Didn’t get the chance to cover his sophomore effort Peace of Me this summer, but the concept of I’ll Neva Sell My Soul grabbed me almost immediately.

“Lean” starts with an intro borrowing from the dirty south a bit talking about sippin’ codeine whereas “Scoob Fame” talks about these pussies & hoes being unable to take shit from him. “Kount Up” hazily advises against fixing shit for these lames since they’ve been broke all of his life leading into the “Feel the Love (Bristol Heartbreak)” instrumental interlude.

The song “Training Day” begins the final act of I’ll Neva Sell My Soul with a cloudy trap beat talking about how if it ain’t 1 thing, it’s another while “U” opens up regarding his blowup & having too much to lose. “Scoobyness” finishes the EP by talking about the habits he picked up from growing up in the habitat that he was raised in with his cup being so dark, he could be a black activist.

For an 18 minute EP recorded in 2020 sometime prior to WRLD Tour’s debut mixtape WRLD Tour Mafia or Die the succeeding summer, it would’ve felt fully complete if WTM Scoob had rapped on “Feel the Love (Bristol Heartbreak)” but either way he digs up a small handful of gems made around a time when the world was completely shut down making a promise on wax that he won’t ever sell out.

Score: 3.5/5

WTM Scoob – “Peach Wolf” review

This is the 7th EP from Detroit rapper WTM Scoob. Formerly a member of the WRLD Tour Mafia, his solo career started in 2019 with his first few EPs Good Kid as well as When You Coming Home & A Beautiful Drug. Couple more EPs Euphoric Effects & Don’t Be Proud came out ahead of his debut album I Went to Plu2o, which was later followed by his first couple mixtapes Scoob & Sydney Tour the World and Unreleased Wav alongside his last EP Big Heart Small World. 13 months after the “Lil Motivator” single & the “Safety Route” b-side however, Scoob’s coming off the Scoob Wav mixtape from this spring to drop Peach Wolf a couple days before Thanksgiving.

“Greedy” opens with a piano trap instrumental talking about putting feelings into this shit since he can’t carry on & demanding his respect feeling like Birdman in reference to his historic Breakfast Club interview whereas “Loewe” cloudily brushes off the idea of making a relationship work when the other half fucked it all up. “Addict” featuring Taylor Bentley begins the other half of the EP psychedelically addressing shit getting wicked in his city & finally, the closer “LoveTheRealMe” ends it all by talking about his only fear being karma.

Admittedly, I haven’t heard much of Scoob’s solo output since he left WRLD Tour a few years ago. Either way, Peach Wolf for only a 4-track EP clocking in at 8 & a half minutes serves as a palatable prelude to whatever he has coming down in the pipe in 2025 whether it be a sophomore LP or a 4th mixtape. I enjoyed Lo Key P’s production as someone who wasn’t too familiar with him up to this point even with a couple projects under his belt already but most importantly, Scoob’s skills on the mic remain undeniable & I’m happy to hear he’s doing good.

Score: 3.5/5
