That is the sophomore effort from Queens emcee Bobby J from Rockaway. Developing as a protege of Kwamé, he would start to show heads within the underground in the course of the summer time of 2019 off the power of his full-length debut Summer season Classics alongside along with his Statik Selektah produced debut EP Infinite Summer season, the latter being my introduction to his music together with 1 Mic & a Drum’s eponymous EP. Bobby then joined forces with Detroit veteran Hush to drop the collab album 718 II 313 final summer time, of which they’d the glory of taking part in 80% of to me at a studio a 12 months earlier than it even dropped. Nef produced the Radio Days EP almost 2 years in the past & is tapping in with Dom Dirtee to take us Greater.
The title observe begins with this otherworldly beat eager to take it to a brand new stage whereas “As soon as Once more” takes the increase bap route instrumentally so Bobby can speaking about being again up on this bitch with the hardcore composer. The 2nd single “Vibin’ (All By Myself)” provides off extra a playful tone discussing the relatable subject material of getting enjoyable by your self in your room listening to music & after the “Mr. Walt Checks In” interlude, the lead single “Harmful” lets their aptly titled mentality be identified when dealing with them.
Paul Wall joins Bobby on the third & remaining single “I Gotta” for each of them to go exhausting with their respective squads whereas “Outta This Membership” tells the DJ to not cease taking part in this heater. After the “Tape Stand” skit, “Spherical N Spherical” makes their head spin over kicks & snares main into “Get Away” passionately feels the necessity to escape. “Good day” nears the top agreeably saying he deserves extra publicity & “Break Me Down” ends by refusing to crumble.
It’s already been 5 years since Summer season Classics, however Greater comes off a pair EPs & group tasks permitting him to raise us with Dom Dirtee becoming a member of him in succeeding at that. Majik Ninja Leisure in-house producer Fritz the Cat’s engineering is excellent, Dom’s manufacturing reasserts his standing because the hardcore composer & Bobby holds off from having any company MCs not like final time to snap for 36 minutes.
