I Grind, I Hustle 2 2022 Album

T-Rock

Show Me the Bag: Banger. Borrows some of his classic lyrics - "My scandalous recipe..." ★★★★ Bangin: One of the catchiest hooks. Hard and dope. ★★★★ Burn Bread: The first single we heard. Good song. ★★★☆ Turn Up: Enjoyable change up of flows throughout the verses. Another enjoyable song that's grown on me a lot. ★★★★ Chappelle: Uses the famous "I'm rich bitch" line from The Chappelle Show. Overall, this is not as memorable as many songs here. ★★★ Money in the Bag: Another hard song with a catchy hook. ★★★★ Gas: T-Rock's obligatory weed song. Here we hear T-Rock croon a touch. This is the least interesting song though. ★★★ Hold Me Down: Another catchy hook with a change up of flows. ★★★☆ Hitman: A dark themed song with another nice chorus. From the man, T-Rock, himself - "Hitman is all freestyle no pen no pad." ★★★★ Go Get a Hoe: I'm not a big fan of the hook. The production including the rich horns are likeable though. ★★★☆ My Hitta: And here we have the obligatory chick track. This sounds quite similar to some other similarly themed songs he's done. This and 'Gas' are the songs I've been skipping most. ★★★ Special Edition songs (disc 2) reviews to come. The producer, Mossberg808, has a long successful track record with T-Rock, but I'd love to see T-Rock branch out. A lot of the production sounds similar to what Rock has had recently. I even recognise some of the sounds from other songs. There is also less variety lyrically than we used to get from him. This was meant to be a double album, just like part 1 of 'I Grind I Hustle', but it's not quite what we got after a number of push-backs. In saying all of that, I'm a huge fan and I still enjoy this, demonstrated by the fact I've played it through about 10 times. It still bangs, and there isn't a bad song, but as mentioned, and as I've said in previous T-Rock album reviews, I'd love to hear him experiment with a slightly different sound.
