Montréal, Québec, Canada emcee Trapmat Savior is again for his sophomore effort. Rising a number of years in the past off his solo debut EP To Riches & Peace together with DozaTrap’s eponymous debut EP, he would later comply with it up in September by releasing a number of extra EPs Kirby together with I Might Inform solely per week aside & Nonetheless Grinding. Nicholas Craven & Mike Shabb each produced his extensively obtained debut 1st Coming close to the tip of 2024, working it again with solely Craven for Scottie Trippin’ roughly an entire 12 months & a half later.
“Final Evening’s Soda” hops over a drumless loop to get issues going speaking about his soldier standing & being constructed for this shit whereas “Grin” takes the increase bap route instrumentally working in some synthesizers to flex that his pockets are thicker than his lady. The lead single “Pillz” hooks up a guitar pattern combined with kicks & snares speaking about grinding 24/7 main into “Shut Sufficient” embracing a chipmunk soul vibe so he can talk about this title run he’s been on.
We get extra synths on “Bittersweet Style” talking of taking no Ls as a result of he’s discovered from all of his errors & after the “Cherry Garcia” interlude, the 2nd & last single “B!tch” that includes Mike Shabb finds the two teaming up over a slick beat to speak about girls. Forest N/A joins Trapmat on prime of some strings referencing the unique “House Jam” & boasting of the best way they be stretching the bar simply earlier than “Brunch” incorporates a vibraphone admitting he doesn’t take it private once they take quite a bit after him.
“Mud” rounds out third with a victorious instrumental speaking about going double or nothing whereas “Scouts” that includes Forest N/A & willjxmes brings the trio collectively to elucidate that shit will get hotter than the south along with it seeming like they signed for a small quantity when that couldn’t be any farther from the reality. “Otis” sends off the album pouring his coronary heart out in regards to the blood, sweat & tears he’s been put into pushing his music over some exuberant piano chords.
Nonetheless Grinding 2 was okay in comparison with 1st Coming & the identical will be stated concerning that Knockout Mafia collaborative EP with Monsi, however I used to be pretty assured about Scottie Trippin’ was going to be an enormous enchancment over each of these prolonged performs & that unsurprisingly occurs to be the case. We get a number of visitor appearances not like 1st Coming with Shabbo’s being my private favourite of the three accompanying Trapmat Savior over Nicholas Craven’s sample-lenient manufacturing model for one more wonderful LP.
