"I juh might do this. I just might do that." Thugger is most threatening when you don't know what he'll do. Such is the thrust of his songs and a tear-down of this summer, screeching his way into our minds steadily with the 1017 tapes. Listen to the mix of spaced out DJ Spinz ticks and Young Thug urgency in the track. After the jump.
Rich Gang just blessed y'all. They are the only more interesting southern trap blues outfit than Migos. Luckily we have them both and can enjoy the various blends and style of dopeboy siren songs. Check them wailing on "Pull Up" after the jump.
On "Low" Lil Bibby makes some audacious claims, Nicki puts her pelvis on something, and Juicy J sips. Young Thug croaks and howls into a void of a song. In other words, business as usual. The video is a little less than the sum of these parts somehow, but we can still get our dose of Minaj. Watch it after the jump.
Juicy J over a Dr. Luke special, made to throb a club into instant collapse. It's like stripped down crunk with a drill kick. Nicki Minaj lavishes it. Bibby is ferocious, and spares no victims: "I'm Michael Jordan, you LeBron n*gga/In other words, you a fraud n*gga" might be one of the most shit-starting lyrics ever. H/t Craig Jenkins for that spotlight. Listen to a banger after the jump.
Take a snapshot of Young Thug, who is a new South legend in the making. It will last longer. This driven, chirpy gangster music should deter anyone from wanting to live That Life, but it sounds so excited and manic, you can't help but wonder... This is from Mike Will Made It's upcoming project Ransom. Listen after the jump.
