Back At It

Boosie Badazz and Webbie are here for both a good time and a long time—the duo of Baton Rouge rappers have been delivering street anthems, both solo and collaboratively, for more than 20 years. Hood classics like “Wipe Me Down” and “Independent” from the mid-2000s were the perfect storm of catchiness, whimsy, rowdiness, and connection to their audience.

This mixtape marks another opportunity to deliver the same kinetic chemistry. “Tombstone” intensely prods revenge by blood for a lost one, “Shake That” is an instant party-starter, and “Trill Shit” is flooded with threats to “Kanye West your jawline” and make foes “disappear, I’ll go Criss Angel.” Producers like J Buc, Big Wayne, and Steery keep the unmistakable sound of the region intact, making for consistently strong backdrops for the duo’s contrasting voices.
