After repeated listens, the new Rich Boy mixtape is officially an unexpected gem. It is straight up heartening to see a dude with promise come back from a half-misfire of a debut by playing totally to his strengths. With summer approaching we could all use a fresh batch of drawled out car talk over in-house down south production.
That said, it's still hard getting used to snarl-mouthed rappers rapping raps about Ecstasy.
Dude? Robert Miles? The circa 1997 Euro-club takeover of rap is unstoppable. Probably not a bad thing.
To complicate the mix even further, "Rollin Rollin" was a Jackie Chain joint before Rich Boy got his hands on it. He actually makes references to catching back rubs in the VIP in the original. Apologies for showing up five months late to the party Jackie.
Here's hoping "Go" supplants "Scarface" as default hip hop movie reference, if only for a few months.
