Buffalo, New York rapper Duffel Bag Hottie placing out his 2nd EP by rapping over a jail cellphone. Generally known as one of many earliest Black Soprano Household Data signees, he has dropped 3 full-lengths together with 5 mixtapes & an EP by means of the label. Ghost of Rick James stands out essentially the most in his discography personally though I’d be remisedif I didn’t point out all 3 entries of the Max Julian trilogy every embrace important tracks of their very own & is surprisingly seeking to Shut Down the Dance Flooring.

The title observe is a lure intro boasting that he’s nonetheless fly & getting an sudden customer from a feminine sooner or later whereas “Stay from USP Canaan” talks about being within the Pennsylvania excessive safety penitentiary as we converse. “Really feel that Ache” marks labelmate Fuego Base showing as the one function on the entire complete EP working in some sampling linking with Duff to flex they solely be hitting the membership when the stacks transfer whereas “Winter Time in NY” exuberantly talks about spending the coldest & darkest of the 4 temperate seasons in his dwelling state. 

“Story Time Duff” has a dope chipmunk soul vibe referencing 10-time WWE world champion, 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 5-time WWE Tag Staff Champion, United Soccer League (UFL) co-owner, TKO Group Holdings board of administrators member, co-founder of $7 Productions who not too long ago landed a partnership with The Walt Disney Firm & the ultimate boss {of professional} wrestling himself The Rock contemporary off 16-time WWE world champion, 4-time WWE tag crew champion & 5-time WWE United States Champion John Cena promoting his soul to him in Toronto at Elimination Chamber XV final evening by turning on the present WWE Champion Cody Rhodes & “Heats” ends by promising that he’ll preserve us up to date on what’s occurring with him.

Now I’ve seen some criticism from folks on-line concerning his vocals being recorded from the jail cellphone, however I have a look at it the identical method the late Ol’ Soiled Bastard recorded his verse for “Conditioner” off the almighty Wu-Tang Clan’s third album The W within the sense that he’s nonetheless able to rapping nearly as good as he did nearly 7 & a half years in the past. Would like to see him make one other physique of labor on the caliber of consistency Ghost of Rick James had reached as soon as he comes dwelling.
