That is the full-length studio debut from New Orleans, Louisiana primarily based emcee/producer La Reezy. Introducing himself in 2023 off the Reeborn mixtape, he would go on to observe it up with the debut EP We All Want Assist in addition to each Welcome to La Reezyana & Pardon Me, I’m Completely different previous the self-produced Lareezyana Shakedown final September. The latter I’d personally inform you is the best factor he’s made to this point. Coming off Free99$ & the Chief of da Uth nevertheless, Skiddle Bandana’s lastly arrived.
“Curly Headed Boy” begins with a 96 second self-produced intro speaking about him going loopy whereas “Scorching” takes a groovier vibe instrumentally flexing his growing reputation throughout the previous 12 months. “Household Bizzy” was a profoundly touching selection of a single speaking about his relations main into “Regular Struggles” embracing a summery environment to the beat shrugging off issues that many people are dealing with.
As for “Fairly Lady Bullshit”, we have now La Reezy over a cloudier instrumental speaking about all the problems that come up relating to beautiful girls simply earlier than “How Did You Love Me?” begins to query the sincerity of a feminine attempting to hit on him. After the “Maintain Yo Crown” interlude, “Melanate Me” continues the 2nd half taking satisfaction in being African American whereas “God Forgive Me” remembers defending a liked one who died from most cancers throughout a theft.
The title monitor winds down Skiddle Bandana’s previous few moments admitting that he may go for a hug proper about now whereas “Aight” soulfully but moodily talks about doing merely positive lately. “Gold Chains” serves as a boisterous continuation of the black excellence themes that have been explored just a little bit in the past & the outro “We Dwell” concludes the album pondering of each limitation reveals itself to be a blessing in disguise, encouraging all to open their eyes.
Out of everybody included within the 2026 XXL Freshman Class checklist a pair weeks in the past, La Reezy undeniably stood out to me as essentially the most gifted artist of the bunch though Chris Patrick & slayr are each deserving of their spots too. Skiddle Bandana’s extra acutely aware quite than attempting to increase the pop rap sounds of Chief of da Uth, swapping out the chipmunk soul & bounce undertones in favor for components of soiled south & neo-soul.
