DJ Lucas – Comfort of My Car

When Hotbox Social highlighted this as his top song of 2021, I was a little skeptical, which was my first mistake, because Hotbox Social is the man.

I actually had no idea what to expect going in but was thinking maybe some sort of slowed down, chilled out H-Town car rap. I could not have been more wrong. It took me a listen or two to get my head around it and it’s a little outside my wheelhouse but I came around to it and this is super dope. I always found the mainstream media’s obsession with comparing guys like Juice Wrld or Playboi Carti to pop punk but I think this would be an example of that comparison done well.

I’m not sure how it makes Hotbox feel relaxed because this beat is super frantic and has me kind of hyped up but it’s fire. And Lucas is more than just a DJ he spits some fire here.

“Doing things on a way different level, used to wrestle with my demons now I’m dancing with the devil.”

“Theyre gonna tell you that they love you then give you nothing for your art”

I’ve delved deeper and realized that this whole Big Bleep Music Vol. 5 album has some gems on it and the Dirty Designer project with Papo2004 and Subjxct 5 (Both of who I had never heard of before this but who I need to check out more) was fire too. This guy had quite a year of output!

I think this is the first time I’ve ever posted an artist from Mass here but this has me in the mood to cop a Patriots hoodie or maybe a Bruins jersey and drink some Dunkin Donuts coffee out of a cup while using a second cup for insulation

MarijuanaXO x Young Fayne x Buck Gotti – Rex

More from my new favorite crew this time it’s MarijuanaXO without Joe Pablo or Juicester but with two of his henchmen Young Fayne and Buck Gotti.

This beat slaps hard. I’m feeling the skeleton hoodie and the hat with all the MLB teams.

“Catch us shining in the club like a chandalier. Touch a diamond on these chains get you out of here.” (I love the dismissive finger point at “get you out of here”)

“EAST SIDE WE GON GET IT OFF THEM DOPE PHONES, MADE A WAY FOR THE MOB NOW WE ALL ON”

Joe Pablo & Juicester – Dirty Blender

More fire from my new favorite crew. This time Juicester subs in for MarijuanaXO and crushes it.

I’m about this multiple Rollie life (although I can’t necessarily pull it off let alone afford it myself) and this Cartis everywhere life

This beat slaps hard and Broad Day Blo crooning over it gives it that blockbuster feel

“Dope so good junkies pulling my coattails”

“Boy and girl go together like a hammer and a nail”

“Riding round hot with a dirty blender, every rich nigga fell in love with a dirty spender”

“Bought a book cause I never had one, I can teach you how to read I’m on the last page”

And Juicester leaves you with some valuable life advice here as well “Life’s way too valuable to play it dumb.” This whole track has me hyped up to go out and make some money.

Phone call at the end has me hyped up too “WE ALL COMING HOME”

Marijuana XO x Pablo Joe – My Brother

Cartis everywhere.

This new team out of Milwaukee Joe Pablo/MarijuanaXO is coming out with some serious heat.

Love the verses, great message, and the beat slaps. This goes super hard.

Love the whole crew yelling along with the “If you got half, I got half, we can split whatever, and if you got it then I got it we in this shit forever” part

MarijuanaXO bodies this verse – “I promise to do right by my brothers. If the police hit the lights I can’t stop there’s too much in this car cause I’ll do life for my brothers. If it’s wrong then I’ve gotta make it right for my brothers.”

I think in 2022 I finally need to get some buffs. That Nipsey varsity jacket is fire too.

MarijuanaXO and Joe Pablo’s new project Window Service just came out

Navy Blue – Ritual

I’m a little late here but this might be the smoothest song of 2021.

“Minding my business tryna die of old age, it ain’t strange we arrive with no name”

Navy had one of my favorite tracks of 2020 with ‘With Sage’ except I didn’t hear it until 2021 and here I am sleeping on him again.

Slick – Office G Mix

My man SLICK is a fool for this one! I’m absolutely loving this. A+ for the choreography/acting here, I would definitley work in this office just making cold calls with a real hustler like Slick.

But it’s not just the gimmick/novelty of the beat/imagery, Slick is spitting some fire here…

“Don’t come to my hood and get blew on, I don’t got an attitude when I got this Rude on”

“Fuck your last nigga that nigga a cornball, paintings all in my house like Andy Warhol”

“I be grinidng like there’s two but there’s one of me, you’re only mad cause you ain’t financially when you want to be”

“Woke up in the morning like life’s crazy, gallery pants with the splatter cost $980”

“My fiend scared of pitbulls but he said bring that dog with him, a nigga play with RTF he better bring God with him”

I love the imagination/imagery of the lines about the fiends i.e. “My fiend 57 with a mullet like Joe Dirt, before I ask for help I went and hit the road first” ‘or “I used to be fucked up, on zero, watching my fiends’ kids play Guitar hero”

I found this off a co-sign from Lil Chicken, I feel like this needs to blow up. With under 500 views right now this might be the most undervalued track of 2021. And I’ll go out on a limb and say this is the best Pittsburgh song since Black and Yellow.

I’m feeling the message at the end too

P.S. I like how this came out now 9 years after the Office ended in the U.S., I’m picturing Slick sitting in the trap discovering the reruns on Netflix lmao

I Can Tell Them Not Your Kicks, Those Your Uncle’s Shoes

Cash Click Boog ft. Cash Click Head – Yeaaa Money

Cash Click Boog hits 7-11 and introduces us to Cash Click Head.

Is any rapper better with just dismissive, disrespectful lines than Boog? He rolls them off with such casual disdain for anyone in his way….

“I can tell them kicks ain’t yours, those your uncle’s shoes”

How you hit the road and you broke? Bro I’m confused.

While Cash Click Head doesn’t necessarily have the level of flow of Cash Click Boog he’s on the same wavelength with the casually disrespectful lines…

“You still wearing GAP clothes, you a kid or something?”

“Put some opps on the news, that shit had to happen. Steve Erckle ass niggas, this ain’t Family Matters.”
