BabyTron, one-third of Detroit rap collective ShittyBoyz, got his case dismissed; if you can’t tell by the hysterical cover art of the MC in his now-famous mugshot, photoshopped with birthday party swag, he won’t be going to jail. That’s the premise of his first project of 2024, the aptly titled Case Dismissed, a playful victory lap that mostly finds the rapper breathing a sigh of relief. The record plays like a first-day-out mixtape, with Baby going straight from his case hearing to the studio and cueing up the beat for the title track, which kicks off the album. He begins the first verse by treating himself to the splendors of freedom, rapping, “No probation for the kid, I’m finna face a zip/Riding ’round with the shrooms again, I’m finna take a trip.” Elsewhere, he recruits BLP KOSHER and Certified Trapper for “3 Stooges,” a decidedly swagged-out update on the classic tale of goofballs gone wild.
